§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if the Commissioners of National Education will consider any case of special hardship to an assistant teacher which may arise in the application of the Rule as to the average attendance of children?
MR. J. MORLEYThe Commissioners invariably consider exceptional circumstances of a temporary nature in 1084 appling the Rule as to the average prescribed for assistant teachers, so as to avoid special hardship to individuals.
