HC Deb 31 March 1879 vol 245 c6
MR. MACARTNEY

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether it is intended by Government to adopt any of the recommendations made by the Poor Law Union and Lunacy Inquiry Commissioners (Ireland), in their report recently presented to Parliament?

MR. J. LOWTHER

Sir, the Report of the Commissioners alluded to by my hon. Friend contains some very important recommendations, involving a large expenditure of money, which will necessitate not only the careful consideration of the Irish Government, but also communication with other Departments, which is now in progress. When a decision has been arrived at, it will be communicated to the House.
