§ MR. SLOANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state on what grounds the National Commissioners have withdrawn the grant from Carland National School, county Tyrone; and whether, in view of the fact that there are eighty-six children on the roll and that there is no other school within two miles, the withdrawal of the grant from Carland School will be reconsidered.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe manager of Carland School resigned, and proposed to transfer the pupils, of whom there 1249 were sixty-five on the rolls, to a new school in the locality. The Commissioners, having inquired into and considered the case, withdrew grants from Carland School, and refused aid to the proposed new school upon the ground that there was ample accommodation for the pupils in other schools under Protestant management within a reasonable distance. The Commissioners do not propose to reconsider their decision.
