§ Mg. MACVEAGH (Down, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state if the letter addressed to the Secretaries of the National Board of Education on let July, by the manager of the school, Roll No 11,829, District No. 11, has ever been submitted to the 902 Board, and, if so, on what date; and whether he can state what allowance has been made by the Board in view of the exceptional circumstances of the case.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) I am informed that the letter is a repetition of letters which had been already fully considered. So far back as April, 1901, the manager was told, after a special investigation of the complaints of the teacher (William Boyle), that the Board had no power to make good out of the public funds loss of income which the teacher alleged he sustained through local causes. It is not intended to submit the letter of the 1st instant specially to the Board.
