HC Deb 25 November 1909 vol 13 c343
Mr. LONSDALE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention has been called to the special Report of the Advising Examiner in Irish to the Board of Intermediate Education; and whether, in view of the evidence which it affords that grants for the teaching of Irish are being wasted, the money voted for this purpose will be applied to another purpose?

Mr. BIRRELL

I have read the report of the Advising Examiner on this year's intermediate examinations. It has no bearing on the teaching of Irish in primary schools for which alone money is voted.
