IRELAND—ERECTION OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS IN TOWNS BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES—LEGISLATION.

HC Deb 11 February 1884 vol 284 c431 431

§ COLONEL NOLAN
asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, If he will introduce a Bill to enable Town Commissioners to borrow money on the security of their tolls, for the purpose of building town halls?

§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. WALKER)
said, that the power had been expressly taken away by legislation, and was vested only in sanitary authorities. It was in the power of Town Commissioners to apply to have themselves made such, and it was not intended to introduce a Bill to confer the power referred to.
