§ Mr. J. P. FARRELLasked the Chief Secretary if he will state the total number of centre superintendents appointed by the Intermediate Education Board for Ireland to carry out the examinations this year; the total number of Roman Catholics appointed; the total number of centres amalgamated at the end of the first week of the examinations; the total number of Catholics who were left in charge of amalgamated centres; the total number of Catholics who were employed for the second week; and will he say on what principle did the Board act in selecting superintendents for the amalgamated centres?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI understand that the total number of superintendents was 322, of whom one-half were Roman Catholics. I am not in a position to reply to the remainder of the question, as there has been no opportunity of bringing it before the Board.
