§ MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what is the nature and scope of the inquiry which is now being conducted in connection with Irish education; whether its results will be communicated 65 to the House; and, if so, when and in what form.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) An inspector of the English Board of Education has been asked to report how typical Iris elementary day schools compare with similarly circumstanced public elementary schools in England, as retards premises, equipment, stalling, and instruction; anti to what causes differences in economy and efficiency appear to be chiefly due. Further inquiries will probably be necessary. The results of the investigation will be communicated to the House, but I cannot as yet pledge myself to the form or to the date of the communication.
