§ MR. O'DOHERTY (Donegal, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland what is the cause of the delay in sanctioning the erection of the proposed national school at Knocknagin, county Derry, considering that some months ago the Commissioners of National Education in Ireland promised the reverend manager that they then expected shortly to be able to give a definite answer on the subject.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) In this case the manager elected to postpone the erection of the building pending a decision on the question of the revision of the plans and estimates for school-houses, in respect to which I would refer to the statement made by my hon. friend the Financial Secretary to the Treasury on the 26th May last year.†
