§ MR. T. HARRINGTON (Dublin Harbour)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the school fees earned by the teachers in model schools are distributed to teachers who earn no such fees; and whether it is the National Board or the Treasury who are responsible for the present mode of distribution.
§ (Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The school fees received from the pupils of model schools are distributed among the head teachers and assistants of all model schools according to a scheme of distribution, which I find was fully explained by my predecessor in answer to a Question on 3rd July, 1905.†The Commissioners of National Education inform me that in the case of one model school the teachers partake in the general distribution though no fees are received in that particular school. The scheme of distribution was arranged by the Commissioners with the approval of the Treasury.
