§ MR. THOMAS F. SMYTH (Leitrim, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland when will an announcement be made concerning the new grant which has been promised for Irish primary education.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) I cannot yet name a precise date, but I hope it will be soon. As I have already stated, the new grant will probably amount to over £100,000, but certain details remain to be settled.
