Captain CRAIGasked the Chief Secretary whether he could state the total cost to the State of teaching the Irish language in national schools in the years 1906, 1907, 1908, and 1909 respectively?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI could not, without considerably more time for inquiry, state the total cost to the State of the teaching of Irish in the several years mentioned. All I can say is that the amount expended in fees was £13,843 in 1906 and £11,766 in 1908.
