COLONEL NOLAN (Galway, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can now inform the House as to the day on which he will state the manner in which the Christian Brothers Schools will be enabled to share in Educational Grants?
MR. J. MORLEYVarious embarrassments, as I have already stated, have arisen in connection with the working of the Irish Education Act of 1892, and I am not at this moment in a position to make any announcement as to the determination of the Government in the matter to which the hon. and gallant Gentleman refers.
COLONEL NOLANHas not the right hon. Gentleman assured me, in answer to five or six questions persistently put, that he would make an announcement on this subject before the end of the present Session?
MR. J. MORLEYIf the hon. and gallant Member will refer to my answers he will find that they were all of a hopeful character. I said that I hoped to he able to make an announcement, but I am now unable to do so.
