HC Deb 18 March 1897 vol 47 c934
MR. HARRINGTON

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether an assistant teacher, serving five years in a workhouse National School and getting his second-class certificate, is entitled to the same rights as to bonus on getting appointed to an ordinary National School as if his whole service as assistant had been in the latter school?

GERALD BALFOUR

The service rendered as assistant teacher in a workhouse National School, if rendered under the provisions of the rules as to average daily attendance and classification that warrant the recognition of assistant teachers in ordinary National Schools, would entitle the assistant to the Same rights as to bonus under the Irish Education Act, 1892, inn being appointed to an ordinary National School, as if his whole service as assistant had been in the latter school.
