§ Mr. MacVEAGHasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what decision, if any, has been arrived at by the Commissioners of National Education in the Ballyranney school case, parish of Annaclone, County Down?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Commissioners of National Education consider that the existing Annaclone national school cannot be regarded by them as suitable for the wants of the locality in the matter of1386W accommodation, or as sufficiently central, and that a new central school should be built. If the necessary steps are taken by those interested to provide a central school the Commissioners will consider the propriety of granting aid to the Anna-done school (known locally as Ballyranney) as a temporary measure pending the building of the new central school.
