§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether a new scheme for the teaching of Irish in national schools has yet been sanctioned by the Treasury; and, if so, will he give the details of it.
§ MR. BIRRELLI am in active communication with the Treasury on this subject. The matter has not yet been settled.
CAPTAIN CRAIGWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of not issuing any new scheme for the teaching of Irish, costing so much money, in view of the deplorable condition of so many Irish school buildings?
§ MR. BIRRELLThat very important question has not escaped my attention.
