§ MR. T. L. CORBETTI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, the salaries of teachers in Ireland having now been consolidated, there is any objection to their being paid in future monthly instead of, as at present, quarterly.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM, Dover)The present system of quarterly payments necessitates the continuous employment, for a fortnight, of almost the entire staff of the Education Office. Monthly payments would entail a very largely increased staff. On this ground alone the suggestion of my hon. friend could not be adopted.
