§ Mr. O'DONNELLasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland when he expects the new pension rules for Irish teachers to come into force; and what provision will be made for teachers already on pensions?
§ Mr. MASTERMANProvision is made in the Estimates for this year for an increase in the Grant to the Irish teachers' pension funds, and the new rules will be settled as shortly as the intricacy of the matter permits. I do not think it will be possible to give them retrospective effect.
