HC Deb 31 July 1907 vol 179 c973
MR. BOLAND

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether he is now in a position to state the result of the representations made to the writer of Volume 17 of the Special Reports on Educational Subjects as to the unwarrantable reflection on Irish educational efforts made on page 118 of that volume; and whether the writer of the Report has taken any steps to acquaint himself with the work of the Gaelic League in proceeding on lines similar to those adopted by Bishop Grundtvig in instituting the Danish people's high schools, of which this writer approves so highly.

MR. McKENNA

Copies of the Questions and Answers relating to this matter were sent to, the writer of the Report referred to who has duly acknowledged them. I have no information as to the second paragraph of the Question.

MR. BOLAND

Has the writer denied the accuracy of my statement or otherwise?

MR. McKENNA

I gather that in acknowledging the receipt of the Questions and Answers, he said he did not agree with the views of the hon. Gentleman, but he has made no representation to ma on the subject.
