HC Deb 05 May 1882 vol 269 cc230-1
MR. T. D. SULLIVAN

asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether the Local Government Board will take such action as may be advisable and within their power in aid of the sanitary authority of the town of Mullingar, with a view to provide for the people of that town a supply of pure water, the source of such supply and the plans for distributing it having been already approved by that Board, and the water at present in use having been proved by analysis to be of bad quality and dangerous to the public health?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)

, in reply, said, that the matter rested entirely with the sanitary authorities of the town of Mullingar. The Local Government Board were perfectly willing to co-operate with the municipal authorities in Mullingar and give the necessary powers as soon as a feasible scheme for a water supply was laid before them and a source of good water found out.
