HC Deb 27 June 1904 vol 136 c1256
MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the National Board has brought forward any scheme for the proper training of teachers in Irish to meet the present demand of managers and people throughout the country.

MR. WYNDHAM

The Commissioners have brought forward no general scheme for the training of national teachers in Irish. Irish is taught to the teachers in some of the training colleges and the Commissioners hold annual examinations in Irish to enable dational teachers to obtain certificates of proficiency in Irish.
