§ MAJOR NOLANasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he has given, or will give directions to provide employment on a moderate scale, between the middle of May and the middle of July, in the county of Galway, particularly in the neighbourhoods of Loughrea, Athenry, Tuam, Oughterard, Clifden, Gort, and Ballinasloe?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER, in reply, said, the hon. and gallant Member must be aware that the only way they could provide employment was through the baronial sanction. If the hon. and gallant Member would apply to him privately he would give him all the information in his power, as he could quite understand his wishing for the information. The Government had already given directions that the works sanctioned by baronial presentments should be carried out between the months of May and July.
