§ Mr. J. O'CONNORasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he has received resolutions of the Irish national school teachers on the subject of the equivalent Grant for Irish national education demanding a Committee similar to that. provided for Scotland under the Scottish scheme, and that the money available for distribution, with certain exceptions, be at once divided among the teachers; whether he is aware that the Commissioners of National Education for Ireland have recommended that a new war 324W bonus on Civil Service terms be granted and paid in January this year, that nine months of the Birrell Grant be paid on the same date, and that it is impracticable to convert the Duke scheme into a war bonus in good time owing to the Parliamentary Recess; and if he can now state what action, if any, he proposes to take under the circumstances?
§ Mr. DUKEI have received many communications to the effect stated. The matter is under consideration.
