§ MR. LONSDALEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, notwithstanding the stringency of the regulations governing the payment of extra fees for the teaching of Irish in national schools, there is nothing in these regulations prescribing a maximum to the expenditure that may ultimately be reached for this service; and if he will state whether the Irish Government and the Treasury propose to take this matter into consideration and fix a limit.
§ MR. BIRRELLI am not at present aware of any reason why the existing arrangements with respect to these fees should be reconsidered.
