HC Deb 07 July 1898 vol 61 c149
CAPTAIN DONELAN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether any steps are being taken by the Commissioners of National Education with the object of providing technical instruction in Irish National schools?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND (Mr. GERALD BALFOUR,) Leeds, Central

The final Report of the Commission on manual and practical instruction in primary schools under the Board of National Education in Ireland was laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday last, and was received by the Board to-day. Obviously, the Board will have to take the Report into consideration before taking any steps in the direction suggested in the Question.
