ATTORNEY GENERAL for IRELAND, Sir JOSEPH M'KENNA, Mr. BRUEN, Mr. O'SHAURH-NESSY, Mr. CHARLES LEWIS, Dr. WARD, Mr. JAMES CORRY, Mr. MURPHY, and Sir MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH: — Power to send for persons, papers, and records; Five to be the quorum.
§ MR. GRAYexpressed a hope that the investigations of the Committee would be rendered more complete by the subject of the re-arrangement of municipal boundaries being made part of the Reference
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACHsaid, that it would be competent for the Committee to make some representation on the subject. Last Session the Committee had. made a recommendation, upon which the Lord Lieutenant had appointed Mr. O'Brien, a most intelligent Local Government Board Inspector, to prepare a general Report on the areas of local administration in Ireland. It would be impossible within reasonable limits of time, to investigate each particular case; and, indeed, he did not understand the hon. Member for Tipperary (Mr. Gray) to suggest this; and Mr. O'Brien's Report, when laid before the Committee, would doubtless receive every consideration.
