§ MR. SLOANTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any complaints have been received in regard to the manner in which officers of health in rural districts discharge their duties in connection with sanitation of the out offices attached to national schools and the premises generally.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Local Government Board have not received any complaint that there has been failure of duty on the part of medical officers of health generally in regard to the sanitary arrangements of national schools. It is to be remembered that these buildings are periodically inspected by the inspectors of national schools, whose reports are communicated to the managers of the schools.
