National School Teachers, Ireland (Fees).

HC Deb 26 August 1909 vol 9 cc2447-8W

Mr. JEREMIAH MacVEAGH

asked the Chief Secretary whether he can state if the fees for Irish have yet been paid to the National teachers; and, if not, whether he can say when payment will be made?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Commissioners of National Education inform me that the fees for the teaching of Irish as an extra subject for the school year 1908–9 are in process of payment, and that the amounts accruing to the teachers are being remitted as rapidly as possible.
