MR. BYENEI beg to ask the Solicitor General for Ireland whether it is true that the Grand L. O. L. 1798, hold their meetings in a class room of (and the only entrance being through) the National School at Donoughmore, County Wicklow; whether this is against the rules which govern the use of National school buildings in Ireland; and whether he will take steps to prevent the use of these schools or any part thereof by the Orange Lodge?
§ MR. MADDENThe Commissioners of National Education report that from inquiries made through their Head Inspector it appears that no meeting connected with the Orange Society has been held in the National schoolhouse of Donoughmore, or in the apartments adjoining it during the present year, and they have an assurance from the manager of the school that no such meeting will be held there.
