Mr. MacCAW

asked the number of male teachers in Ireland promoted to first-of-first class in each year prior to 1897 who have not yet been placed on the pension establishment corresponding to their class; the number of male teachers in Ireland who have been placed on the first-of-first pension establishment in each of the last five years; and whether provision will be made in the promised revision of the Irish teachers' pension fund to have the standard numbers for first-of-first class pension abolished, as has been done in the case of the other classes?
