§ MR. MACVEAGHTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that some national teachers in Ireland who taught evening schools have not yet been paid for the term which ended in April; and whether he can state definitely when the money will be paid.
(Answer.) Payment of the capitation rate in respect of evening continuation schools is made after an examination of the reports of the Board's inspectors. The sessions of nearly 400 such schools ended in April, and payment has already been made in the cases of some 200 of these. The work of examining the reports in the remaining cases is proceeding as rapidly as possible, and payment will be made without avoidable delay.—(Irish Office.)
