§ MR. DELANY (Queen's County, Ossory)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, considering the fact that the effect of the circular of the Lord Lieutenant of October, 1898, has been to reduce committals to Irish industrial schools by 28 per cent., the Government will consider the advisability of compensating the owners or managers of those schools for the loss to vested interests entailed, particularly as those schools are mainly in the hands of religious communities and worked for charitable purposes.
§ MR. WYNDHAMNo, Sir.
