HC Deb 13 March 1888 vol 323 c1084
MR. HAYDEN (Leitrim, S.)

asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, Whether the non-payment of seed rate disqualifies a ratepayer from voting at a Poor Law election?

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN) (Dublin University)

(in reply) said, the seed rate being placed in the same position as the poor rate, its non-payment disqualified a ratepayer from voting at an ordinary Poor Law election.

MR. HAYDEN

Even though the poor rate is paid?

MR. MADDEN

Yes; certainly.
