§ MR. MURPHY (Kerry, E.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can ascertain from the Commissioners of National Education in Ireland if an inspector of schools in Ireland can interfere with a manager in framing a suitable programme without consulting the Commissioners directly on the matter.
§ (Answered by Mr. Birrell.) Under the rules, managers are at liberty to submit, through the inspectors, for the approval of the Commissioners, alternative programmes of instruction to suit the needs of particular localities. If the hon. Member has any specific case in view, in which it is suggested that undue interference has taken place, the Commissioners will inquire into the matter upon being furnished with the necessary particulars.
