§ MR. CLANCY (Dublin Co., N.), for Dr. KENNY (Cork, S.): I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether a vacancy is expected in the post of Catholic Chief of Inspection, under the National Education Board, Ireland; whether such vacancy, both by right and custom, belongs to the Catholic Inspectors of National Schools; and whether it is the intention of the Government to go outside the ranks of Catholic Inspectors in making the appointment; and, if so, will he consent not to make any appointment to the expected vacancy during the Recess, in order that the matter may be discussed in the House?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThere is no immediate prospect of any vacancy.
