§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the teacher in an Irish national school, Roll No. 3,997, District No. 56, sent for books, 6th Standard Readers, to the Board's stores in the September of last year, and, though he made repeated inquiries since, has not yet got the books; and whether he will take some steps to improve or to close this institution.
§ MR. ATKINSONThese books have been sent to the teacher. They were only recently placed on the Board's authorised list, and consequently could not be supplied sooner. The inquiry in the second paragraph is founded on a misapprehension.
