HC Deb 07 December 1906 vol 166 c1302
MR. DOLAN (Leitrim, W.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the consideration laid before them by the Member for North Leitrim, the Commissioners of National Education will reconsider their decision regarding the case of Mr. Michael O'Rourke, teacher in Ballaghameehan national school, Circuit 7, Section B, Rossinver, county Leitrim, and grant him a salary based on his average for the ten years preceding 1899 instead of on his average for the three years preceding 1899.

(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Commissioners of National Education have forwarded to me a copy of the letter which they recently sent to the hon. Member in reply to his request for a reconsideration of the decision in this teacher's case. In that reply the Commissioners entered fully into the facts, and they now inform me that they find it impossible to reopen the matter, which has more than once received their full consideration.
