§ MR. T. SEXTON (Kerry, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether it is his intention to deal with the question lately referred to the Irish Board of National Education by a Bill, instead of by an Amendment of the Rules of the Board, as indicated by his reference?
MR. J. MORLEYsaid, it was certainly not his intention to proceed in this matter by way of legislation. The Lord Lieutenant had the power to sanction, or to refuse his sanction to any alteration of the Rules proposed by the National Board; and it was the method which he proposed to adopt in effecting any change that might be necessary. What he promised to the hon. Member for South Tyrone was that, if a change was sanctioned, it should not come into operation or be made effective without the House having an opportunity to express an opinion upon it.
