§ MR. BOLANDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Report of the Building Committee on the new plans for national schools in Ireland was submitted in November last to the Government, and that, pending the Government's decision on the subject, all grants for new schools have been suspended; and whether a decision will soon be come to, so that progress may be made in regard to plans submitted to the National Board.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe Report referred to is a confidential document. Action on applications for building grants was necessarily postponed pending a decision on he Report of the Committee. I hope, however, that a decision will be reached very shortly.
