§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)I bog to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he has received a Resolution from the Blacklion and Dowra Teachers' Association, drawing attention to the miserable salary paid to Irish national school teachers, to inadequate pensions, and to the delay in advancement and promotion of teachers; and, if so, in view of the gravity of delay in having the teachers' grievances put right, will he give this matter his first consideration.
THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. BRYCE, Aberdeen, S.)I have received the Resolution referred to. The whole question of salaries to Irish primary teachers is under the consideration of the Commissioners of National Education, and the Irish Government will gladly consider any proposals on the subject which the Commissioners may make.
