§ MR. BARRIETo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he recognises that a teachers' retiring room is a necessary adjunct to a good school building; and will he instruct the Board of Works in future to permit the cost of the inclusion of such rooms in the estimates on which the State grant is based.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The new plans for schoolhouses do not provide for private rooms for the teachers. The provision of such rooms would greatly increase the cost.
