§ MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what were the circumstances attending the dismissal of Mr. A. Gallagher, national school teacher, Ballyscally, County Tyrone; and when the Commissioners of Education propose to make public their decision on the Inspector's Report made in November last?
§ * MR. JACKSONThe Commissioners of National Education report that the teacher mentioned was dismissed by the manager of the school on 31st December, 1891. In communicating the dismissal to the Board, the manager stated that he had determined the service of the teacher in consequence of repeated acts of insubordination, together with other displeasing features of his conduct. Certain complaints had been previously made by the manager against the teacher. The Commissioners had them inquired into by their Inspector, and, having considered his Report, decided that the case did not demand further action on their part. They duly notified their decision to the manager on 17th December.
