HC Deb 02 June 1891 vol 353 c1471
MR. PARNELL (Cork)

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether his attention has been directed to the fact that it has been decided that the Cork Court Houses Bill does not come within the class of Public Bills, also that the Cork Grand Jury have declined to promote it as a Private Bill; and whether in view of these facts, and the great inconvenience to the Crown in Ireland owing to the absence of a Court House in Cork, the Government can see their way to defray the cost of the promotion of this measure as a Private Bill?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN,) Dublin University

I must ask the hon. Member to postpone this question until Thursday, when I shall be able, I think, to give satisfactory information.
