§ Dr. O'DONOVANasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education whether since 1921 there has been a change in the stress laid by the Board on the relative importance of the three considerations, i.e., the interest of secular education, the wishes of the parents as to the education of their children, and the economy of the rates, to which they are required to have regard in granting sanctions to build new non-provided schools?
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAMOwing to the gravity of the financial position, the Board felt obliged during the last three years to attach greater weight to the consideration of economy than would be necessary in normal times.
