HC Deb 08 August 1902 vol 112 cc1121-2

The following questions were addressed to the Chief Secretary for Ireland:—

MR. SHEEHAN (Cork, Co., Mid)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, seeing that under the new programe of national education in Ireland the right is reserved to managers to select a curriculum suited to the locality, he will direct inspectors to refrain from suggesting to the managers of schools the subjects to be taught.

MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that for several years past reports have been made by the coastguards at Ballyheigue, North Kerry, as to the large number of fish visiting Ballyheigue Bay, and that owing to the want of a boat-slip or pier, fishing is practically at a standstill; and will he, with a view to the development of the fishing industry in that district, take steps to meet the wishes of the local fishermen by the construction of a slip or pier.

MR. JOSEPH NOLAN (Louth, S.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he has received a copy of a resolution adopted by the Managing Committee for Technical Instruction of the County Louth, protesting against the discontinuance of the grant in aid of technical instruction from South Kensington, on the ground that, when recommending the corporation to adopt the Technical Instruction Act and levy a rate for the purpose, the Department led the Committee to believe that this grant would be available; and will the Department reconsider their decision.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM, Dover)

As I indicated yesterday, I will send the answers to these Questions to the hon. Members privately.
