§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Dublin Co., S.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Why the scale of pay and the scale of allowances is lower in the Irish than in the English Criminal Lunatic Asylums?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)in reply, said he was unable to institute comparison as regards salaries between English and Irish Criminal Lunatic Asylums; but salaries were paid according to the circumstances of each asylum. With regard to Dundrum Criminal Lunatic Asylum, the pay of officials had been increased from time to time.
