§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, whether he is aware that repeated applications have been made to the Commissioners of National Education for the erection of a school at Waterville, county Kerry, and that a suitable site has now been obtained; and, if so, in view of the fact that a number of Roman Catholic children in the village cannot be educated through want of the proper facilities, and that the Roman Catholic population is increasing, will the Commissioners now sanction a building grant.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) Dover; I am informed that the Commissioners declined to make a grant in this case, because, in their opinion, the educational requirements of Waterville can be effectively met by enlarging the schools at Spunkane in the same district.
