§ MR. SAMUEL YOUNG (Cavan, E.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Intermediate Commissioners give a preference to intermediate teachers applying for the position of superintendents of examinations; whether in the appointments length of service is taken into consideration, and whether the Commissioners will give the names and length of service of the intermediate teachers appointed for the first time this year to these positions.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) The reply to the first Question is in the negative. In making appointments the Commissioners proceed on the principle of selecting those who, in their opinion, are the best qualified. A list containing the names of centre superintendents will be supplied to the hon. Member on application in writing to the office of the Commissioners.
