§ MR. DOOGAN (Tyrone, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the Irish Government has yet given permission to the Commissioners of National Education to pay in full the arrears of fee grant, as calculated in the Education Office, to those National school teachers who elected in 1879 to remain outside the provisions of the Teachers' Superannuation Act, and who have, in consequence, no pecuniary interest in the solvency of the Pension Fund?
§ ME. HANBURYThe Irish Government have not given permission, to the National Education Commissioners to make such payments. No claims of the kind have been brought to the notice of the Treasury.
