§ Mr. O'DONNELLasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland when he expects to be able to announce the details of the new scheme of Irish teachers' pensions; and will he consider, in drafting the scheme, the justice of making it retrospective?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI am afraid I am not yet in a position to say when the details of the new scheme for Ireland can be announced—they involve intricate calculations—nor can I state whether the funds available will permit of the scheme being made retrospective.
