§ MR. SLOAN () Belfast, S.To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, if plans and specifications have been prepared for the erection of a new school at Caddy, Randalstown; and, if so, can he explain the cause for the delay in proceeding with the work of building.
(Answered by Mr. Birr ell.) The manager's special plans and specification have been approved and a grant has been sanctioned. A lease of the site of the new schoolhouse was sent to the manager 547 on 7th instant for execution and, pending the receipt of this document duly executed, the Commissioners of National Education cannot issue the necessary authorisation for proceeding with the building.
