§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the character of the salary and prospects of promotion of assistant teachers in Irish National Schools, provision will be made in the new grant for giving those teachers greater consideration for their services; what are the proposals of the Government for the future payment of those men; and is it proposed to enable them to enter the second grade.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) I would refer the hon. Member to the revised Supplementary Estimate for Public Education, Ireland, which is now before the House.
