§ MR. CRILLY) (Mayo, N.I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland what space of time elapses in Ireland from the date on which a results' examination is held until the payment of fees arising therefrom is made to the teachers concerned, assuming the accuracy of school accounts and all statistics prepared by the teacher for such examination; whether there are any cases in District 21 at the present date, where payment of results fees has been unduly deferred without sufficient cause; and whether directions will be given to the head of the Education Department in Ireland to cause payment of these results' fees to be made to those concerned within the space of a month at most after the date on which the examination has been held?
§ MR. MADDENThe Commissioners of National Education report that, as a rule, results' fees are paid about a month from the date of the results' examination of a school. The Commissioners state that there are no cases in District 21 in which the payment of results' fees has been unduly deferred without sufficient cause.
