§ MR. BODKIN (Roscommon, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland is it the usage under the Irish National School Board to allow results fees when, through an epidemic in the district, the attendance in a particular school has not been up to the requisite average, especially when the requisite average has been obtained in two quarters (though not consecutive) of the same year; and will he mention the cases in which this usage has been departed from, and state the reasons?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER (Mr. BRYCE,(for Mr. J. MORLEY) Aberdeen, S.)The Board of National Education state that there has been no such usage as that referred to in the question, and accordingly no cases affected by such a usage have occurred.
