§ 4. Mr. P. MEEHANasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if lie is aware that the majority, if not all, of the teachers of Kildare district, sixteen are discontented owing to the methods of and the manner in which Mr. Cussen, the senior inspector, performs his duties; whether complaints have been made that the inspector's attitude to both teachers and pupils is irritating and offensive; whether he will consider the advisability of having this senior inspector appointed to the vacant position of private secretary to Dr. Starkie; and if he is aware that such appointment would meet with approval in the district and probably avoid a repetition of the Tipperary incident?
§ Mr. DUKEThe performance by the senior inspector of his duties is entirely a matter for the Commissioners of National Education. The appointment of private secretary to the Resident Commissioner rests with the Resident Commissioner.
