§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the teacher of Douglas National School, Roll No. 12,875, District 54, sent early in January an order for books to the Board's stores, and has since got no reply; and that the manager of the school, who wrote more than three weeks since, complaining of the matter, has not yet got a reply; and whether, seeing that on 19th February a second order was sent from the same and no reply has yet been sent, steps will be taken to place this department on a businesslike footing.
§ MR. WYNDHAMAn order for books was received from this school on the 14th January, and the books were forwarded on the 17th January. Both the teacher and the manager were at 1585 once advised by post of the transmission of the books. A second order was received on the 20th February and the goods were forwarded on the 2nd instant. If there has been any delay (in the delivery of the. goods, or letters of advice) the responsibility does not rest with the Commissioners' Department.
