§ MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state the grounds upon which the National Education Commissioners refuse to appoint a local non-clerical manager of the Lislea No. 1 National School, county Armagh.
§ MR. WALTER LONGWhen a vacancy arises in such a case as this, it is the practice of the Commissioners to recognise the clerical successor of the former manager. The school is being conducted satisfactorily under the present temporary manager, and the Commissioners do not propose to recognise a 469 permanent manager until the successor of the former clerical manager has been appointed to the locality.
§ MR. LONSDALEIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that this gentleman resides twenty-five miles from the school?
