§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELLTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction which exists among teachers and managers in Irish national schools with regard to the fixing of salaries under the new system; and whether he will appoint a Committee of inspectors to inquire during the autumn into the teachers' complaints.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham). Some of the teachers, I believe, complained that their salaries had not been fixed on an equitable basis. In all such cases full inquiry was made by the Commissioners, and the salaries were revised whenever it was deemed fair and right to do so. It does not appear to me that there are any sufficient reasons for further inquiry as suggested.
