HC Deb 14 July 1884 vol 290 cc903-4
MR. KENNY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If it has yet been formally notified to the Clare Land Sub-Commissioners that the Kildysart Board of Guardians have placed their board room at the disposal of the Sub-Commissioners for the purpose of holding a sitting of their Court there; and, if the Sub-Commissioners intend to take advantage of the offer; and, if so, whether he can state how soon the Court will sit there?

MR. TREVELYAN

The Chairman of the Clare Sub-Commission reports as follows:— It has never been intimated to us, officially or otherwise, that the Guardians had placed their Board Room at our disposal. The cases for the Kildysart Union for the present Sessions have all been disposed of; but if the accommodation be sufficient, and the public convenience requires it, there can be no objection to sit at Kildysart for the hearing of cases in that neighbourhood.

MR. KENNY

asked the right hon. Gentleman, whether he was aware that such failure to do what he believed to be the duty of the Sub-Commissioners had occurred on several previous occasions; and whether it was the intention of the Local Government Board, on the representation made, to cause inquiry to be instituted?

MR. TREVELYAN

Perhaps the hon. Member will give Notice of this Question, and I shall then have inquiries made.
