HOUSING OE THE WORKING CLASSES—CITY OF CORK—THE ROYAL COMMISSION.

HC Deb 08 May 1885 vol 298 cc19-20

MR. DEASY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the Royal Commission on the Housing of the Working Classes intend to take evidence in the city of Cork?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

The Royal Commission has not held sittings in the Provincial cities of either England or Scotland. The evidence from Liverpool, for example, was taken in London, and that from Glasgow in Edinburgh. Following this practice in Ireland, the Commission will hear the evidence from Cork in Dublin.
