§ Mr. LONSDALEinquired of the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention has been called to the recommendation of the Armagh standing committee 1408 on school attendance that, in view of the difficulty of obtaining a general guarantee from all parts of the country to raise funds to cover one-half of the cost of heating and cleaning the national schools of Ireland, an annual grant should be made to each national school of one-half the amount required for heating and cleaning on condition that the other moiety is raised by the school; and whether he is prepared to consider favourably this suggestion?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI have received the resolution referred to. As regards the remainder of the question, I can only refer the hon. Member to my reply to the question on the same subject asked by the hon. Member for East Clare on 29th June last.
