HC Deb 09 September 1887 vol 321 c11
MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the Local Government Board drew the attention of the Guardians of Dunfanaghy Union to the discreditable state of the dispensary in the Gweedore Dispensary District nearly two years ago; whether the Guardians then promised to remedy the state of things existing; whether the dispensary still consists of a small and miserable apartment never intended for such a purpose, with a narrow nagged passage as the only waiting place; and, whether he will direct something to be done in the matter?

THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY (Colonel KING-HARMAN) (Kent, Isle of Thanet)

(who replied) said: The facts are substantially as stated in the Question. The Guardians have endeavoured to obtain sufficient dispensary accommodation; but have not as yet succeeded. The Local Government Board will again impress on the Guardians the necessity of providing, before the approach of winter, premises affording suitable accommodation, and they will continue to give the matter their attention.
