§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the resolution signed by the Cardinal Archbishop of Armagh, in which the standing committee of the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ireland complain of the refusal of free homes to the training colleges at Belfast, Waterford, and Limerick as unfair to these colleges, and as tending, by reducing the resources which are necessary for their efficient working, injuriously to affect the whole primary system of education in the country; and whether he proposes to make any statement in answer to this grave pronouncement of the Bishops.
§ MR. WYNDHAMYes, Sir, I have seen a published report of the resolution. I cannot consider a departure from the understanding that free homes should be granted only to metropolitan training colleges, except as part of the general question of educational reform.
