HC Deb 11 July 1917 vol 95 cc1946-7W
Sir T. ESMONDE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he will consider the question of including teachers in Irish workhouses in his proposals for the betterment of the conditions of teachers in the Irish national schools?

Mr. DUKE

As I stated in answer to the hon. Member for South Wexford on the 21st May, workhouse teachers are paid from Poor Law funds, and they are in a different category from national school teachers, who are paid by the State.
