§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that teachers whose schools were examined in April last and subsequently for results fees have not yet received payment (although the Board's rules state that they will pay the results fees in the month following that in which the examination is held), and can he say what is the cause of delay and when payment will be made.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. G. W. BALFOUR, Leeds, Central)As I stated yesterday, results fees, as such, are not payable after the 1st April, 1900, but teachers who taught under the results system up to the end of the last financial year will receive an equivalent for such fees based on the average payments for the last three years, The date of payment will depend upon the date of the usual termination of the results period in each school.
