§ MR. MELDONasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether he will consider the desirability of placing the Cow Pock Institution under the control of the Irish Local Government Board, and of increasing the grant to such institution so as to enable vaccine lymph to be supplied gratuitously in Ireland as it is in England?
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, in reply, said, he believed that the institution referred to was a private one, and, he therefore could not say how far it was possible to put it under the control of the Irish Local Government Board; but if the grant should be increased in order to enable vaccine lymph to be supplied gratuitously in Ireland, he thought the administration of such increased grant should be under the control of that Department, and he was now engaged in a correspondence with a view to effect that object.
