§ 30. Mr. GINNELLasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the Gaelic League has been consulted, and, if not, at whose instance most of the officials called organisers of Irish instruction are now employed mainly or wholly at other work; whether he is aware that in these circumstances they regard their salary as a bribe to them to acquiesce in the neglect of the Irish instruction they were ostensibly appointed to promote, and are deterred from calling attention to this change of policy by the certain displeasure of official superiors; and whether those officials will be at once restored to their legitimate functions?
§ Mr. RUSSELL (for the Chief Secretary for Ireland)I am not yet in a position to add anything to the reply given to the hon. Member's question on this subject on the 17th inst.
§ Mr. GINNELLI will repeat the question on Thursday.
