§ MR. DILLONI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will lay on the Table the minutes of the National Board of Education dealing with the proposed amalgamation of the Bellaghy boys' and girls' schools, and the correspondence on this subject with the managers of the schools.
§ MR. WALTER LONGIt is understood that this Question refers to the male and female national schools at Ballynease, near Bellaghy. On 2lst June, 1904, the Commissioners made an order directing the amalgamation of these schools, but, the manager having objected, the Commissioners reconsidered the matter, and on 8th November, 1904, rescinded their former order. The Commissioners consider that, as the case has now been settled, no good object would be served by publishing the minutes and correspondence.
