COOTEasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he will consider the case of national school teachers in Ireland who are teaching in schools of twenty to twenty-nine pupils average when he comes to deal with the broad question of education; is he aware that under the terms of the Killanin Report, if given effect to, these teachers should only receive a very low grade of salary and be deprived of all capitation grants; and will he bear in mind that these are confined very largely to sparsely populated rural districts where there is not much hope of promotion?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe Report and recommendations of the Vice-Regal Committee on Primary Education, to which the question has reference, are at present under consideration.
