§ MR. D. MACALEESE (Monaghan, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, seeing that, under the alternative scheme of the Commissioners of National Education in Ireland, work mistresses in the schools are obliged to give the whole school day to their duties, at an animal salary of £12, he will try to have these Salaries augmented?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURProposals have been submitted to the Irish Government by the Commissioners in relation to the remuneration of work mistresses, and these proposals will receive due consideration.
