HC Deb 29 June 1909 vol 7 cc229-30
Mr. WILLIAM REDMOND

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether, if the national school managers in Ireland undertake to be responsible for half the cost of cleaning and heating the schools, he will see that the Treasury enable the Commissioners of National Education to meet the other half of the cost?

Mr. BIRRELL

As I have already stated, I am prepared to consider fully, and to submit for the consideration of the Treasury, any suitable and financially practicable scheme for the heating and cleansing of national schools which may secure general acceptance in Ireland.
