HC Deb 23 July 1908 vol 193 cc309-10
MR. CONOR O'KELLY (Mayo, N.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that the National School at Cuiltybo, Claremorris, County Mayo, has been repeatedly condemned by school inspectors in their reports to the Commissioners of National Education as a dilapidated structure, inconveniently situated, in very bad repair, not worth repairing, in danger at any time of falling in over the children's heads, and undeserving of the Board's grants; whether any action has been taken by the Commissioners of National Education on these reports, and, if so, what; and whether, in view of the repeatedly expressed wishes of the parents of the district for a new school, he will draw the attention of the Commissioners to the matter without delay.

(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Commissioners of National Education have sanctioned a grant towards the erection of a new schoolhouse in place of the existing building, and the manager will be furnished with the necessary plans and specifications.
