§ The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)My attention has been called to a newspaper report of a meeting of the Tip-perary National Teachers' Association at which a resolution of the nature indicated in the question was adopted. The Commissioners of National Education are aware that similar resolutions have appeared in the Press, but they do not consider that any action on their part is necessary.
