HC Deb 28 June 1906 vol 159 cc1156-7
MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)

In view of the adoption of the new system for the remuneration of teachers can the Chief Secretary say what is proposed with regard to bi-lingual schools?

MR. BRYCE

A special grant of 4s, per scholar in average attendance will be made to schools taking the bilingual programme. The bi-lingual programme may be adopted in those cases only where the home language of the majority of the scholars is Irish.
