§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Chief Secretary whether he is now in a position to say that Rule 92 (j) of the Commissioners of National Education will be withdrawn or modified, or that the Treasury will pay substitutes for the teachers penalised by it?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe whole question of the application of the rule is engaging the consideration of the Irish Government, and I hope to have before me the observations of the Commissioners of National Education on the subject after their next meeting on the 29th instant.
