HC Deb 07 September 1886 vol 308 cc1473-4
MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, in view of the fact that a very large number of objections have been lodged for the electoral division of Ramelton, in East Donegal, arrangements will be made to have a sitting of the Revising Barrister at Ramelton itself, so as to prevent the great hardship of forcing many poor and old people from going all the way to Letterkenny to establish their right to the franchise?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. HOLMES) (Dublin University)

It is now too late to make any alterations this year in the places for holding Revision Sessions in county Donegal; but any representations as to the desirability of holding such Sessions at Ramelton will be carefully considered before next year's revision.
