§ DR. KENNY (Dublin, College Green)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will take an early opportunity, next Session, to bring in a Bill to remedy the omission from the Irish Education Act of 1892 of powers to local authorities to levy a rate, or otherwise provide funds, to defray the expenses connected with the putting in force the compulsory clauses of that Act, which omission has hitherto rendered the Act inoperative?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURAn amending Bill in the direction indicated by the hon. Gentleman will no doubt be necessary, and I shall consider, during the Recess, the question of the propriety of introducing such a measure in the next Session of Parliament.
