§ Mr. O'DOHERTYasked why the principtl teacher of Malin Head national school, Roll No. 14,739, who was promoted from 1st April, 1910, has not yet received his full grade salary, although Rule 105 (a) 352W of the Commissioners states that teachers promoted from a lower to a higher grade receive on promotion the salary fixed for the grade to which they are promoted; and whether it is the intention of the Government to allow the Commissioners to pay to this teacher the arrears due to him, which up to 30th September last amounted to £18?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Commissioners of National Education inform me that Mr. John Quigley, principal teacher, was promoted to the second of first grade rank from 1st April, 1910, as there was no vacancy available at the time he did not receive salary of that grade until the 31st December, 1910, and arrears from that date have already been paid. The Commissioners have no power under existing circumstances to make any further payment to Mr. Quigley.
