HC Deb 12 May 1909 vol 4 c1826
Mr. O'DOWD

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether there are any means whereby inspectors of National schools in Ireland who happen to be unjustly treated by the Resident Commissioner can obtain redress, in view of the fact that if they send their complaints to the office he refuses to allow the secretaries, who are his subordinates, to bring them before the Board, and if complaints are made directly to any individual Commissioner a breach of the Regulations is said to be committed; and whether he is aware that if questions are asked in this House the Resident Commissioner and his subordinates endeavour to find out who is the author, so that he may be still further punished?

Mr. BIRRELL

I have nothing to add to my reply to a similar question asked by the hon. Member for the College Green Division on the 5th instant.
