HC Deb 12 March 1896 vol 38 c758
MR. DOOGAN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in the interests of national education, he will take steps to shorten the period of retirement, on full pension, of Irish teachers?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

As at present advised, I am not prepared to take any further steps for the purpose indicated in the question.

MR. DOOGAN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether steps have been taken to place the Irish National Teachers' Pension Fund upon a solvent basis?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

The steps taken to secure the solvency of the fund are still the subject of correspondence between the Treasury and the Irish Government.
