MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Springtown Evening School, county Longford, Roll No. 8470, has been recognised by the Commissioners of National Education for the six months ending 30th April, 1900, and that the emoluments of the teacher, as set forth by National Board's circular, were to consist of salary, results fees, and customs and excise grant; and whether, seeing that, although the inspector examined and reported favourably on the above-named evening school, the teacher has only received salary as yet at the rate of £1 per month, any further sum will be paid him in lieu of abolished results fees and the customs grants; and, if so, when will the payments be made.
§ MR. G. W. BALFOURThe teacher's emoluments for the six months referred to will consist of salary and the equivalent for results fees and customs grant. The latter item will be remitted at an early date.
