MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the attention of the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury has been directed to the position of persons who have served as paid monitors in Irish National Schools, with the view of having the same age allowances granted them when competing for Civil Service appointments as are granted to members of the Royal Irish Constabulary at Civil Service competitions; and whether the Civil Service Commissioners will be instructed to make the necessary age allowance to this class of persons at their examinations.
§ MR. HANBURYMonitors are not in the service of the State, and I can hold out no hope that facilities allowed only to servants of the State will be extended to outsiders.
