§ MR. JOHN DILLON, (Mayo, E.)on behalf of the hon. Member for East Tyrone (Mr. P. C. DOOGAN), I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that at a largely attended meeting of the members of the Belfast National Teachers' Association, which was held in Rosemary Street Hall, Belfast, on Saturday last, under the chairmanship of Mr. Erskine, President of the Association, a resolution was adopted expressing their opinion that two or more practical teachers should occupy seats on the Board of National Education in Ireland, and urge on the Central Committee to give this question a prominent place at the next congress; and whether he will take any steps to have the views of this body of teachers carried into effect?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURCopies of the Resolution have been received. The question is not one on which I should like to express an opinion without further consideration.
