asked the Minister for Education whether he is aware of the serious hardships imposed on national teachers by the delay in increasing their salaries, and if he will establish the proposed arbitration board within a period of one month from this date so that the claims of the teachers to an increase in their remuneration may be investigated, decided and put into effect before the first day of October next.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - National Teachers' Salaries.
I have already indicated that it is intended to set up an arbitration board to which questions relating to the salaries of national teachers may be referred, but I cannot say at present when the board is likely to be formed.
Owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the Minister's reply, I desire to give notice that I intend to raise this matter on the adjournment.
