asked the Minister for Education if he can state when it is proposed to introduce the Supplementary Vote to give effect to the proposed salaries scheme for Secondary Teachers, in view of his statement on the matter made in the Dáil on the 8th July, 1924.

Final details in connection with the proposed additional provision for Secondary Education are at present being settled, and it is hoped that a decision will be reached within a few days. When a decision has been reached the Dáil will be asked to vote the necessary funds.
