asked the Minister for Education whether he is now in a position to carry out the scheme referred to in the statement of his predecessor of the 13th March, 1939, to confer on teachers of primary subjects in industrial schools the status, emoluments and privileges of national teachers; and, if not, if he will state when he expects to be able to implement the promise made on that occasion.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Status of Industrial School Teachers.
I would refer the Deputy to my statements on this matter during the Estimate debates on Thursday last, the 6th instant. He will find these statements in columns 1577 and 1578 and in column 1639.
This question was put down before the statements mentioned were made. Does this reply mean that the proposal is indefinitely postponed but not withdrawn?
Yes.
