§ MR. O'DOHERTYTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the fact that the Commissioners of National Education in Ireland promised school teachers that the fees due to them for evening classes would be paid at the end of each session, he will explain why in certain schools in the county Donegal, although the session ended last January, the fees have not as yet been paid; and will he take steps to have the teachers paid their fees according to arrangement.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) There were five evening schools in county Donegal whose session ended with the 31st January. Of these, the capitation grant has been paid in three cases, and in the remaining two payment has been delayed owing to irregularities or non-observance of the requirements of the Commissioners' rules.
