HC Deb 20 March 1906 vol 154 c231
MR. BOLAND

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware that information respecting the fact of their recognition under certain provisions of the Order in Council establishing a register of teachers, is forwarded to the Irish Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction, instead of being sent directly to the schools which have applied for such recognition; and can he state the reason for this course of action.

MR. BIRRELL

The practice of the Board is as described. The Board communicate with the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction as to the recognition of the schools, and it seems, therefore, the proper course to announce the results through them.

MR. BOLAND

Is this a new development.

MR. BIRRELL

I will inquire.
