§ Mr. JAMES O'KELLYasked how many teachers in the service of the National Board promoted to both divisions of first grade on 1st April, 1909, have yet received no increase of salary corresponding to their promotions; how many also of those promoted on 1st April, 1910, have yet received no increase of salary; is he aware that these teachers are being deprived of anything from £150 to £400 each, and are the most efficient and deserving teachers in the service, who had to give, before being promoted, many consecutive years of highly efficient service; and is there any parallel in any educational board where teachers have to wait for vacancies before being admitted to promotion?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the question asked by the hon. Member for South Cork on the 16th May last for the particulars which he requires. As I have already stated, the whole question is receiving my most careful consideration.
