§ MR. DEASYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is the fact that a Mr. Dineen has tendered to collect the poor rates of the Bandon Union, county Cork, at a poundage of fourpence; whether a majority of the Board, made up principally of ex-officio Guardians, have elected a Mr. Stanley at a poundage of sixpence; and, whether, if the facts are as stated, the Local Government Board will order the appointment of Mr. Dineen?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThe facts are substantially as stated. But the resolution of the Board of Guardians fixing the poundage at 6d. was formal and legal, and requires no interference on the part of the Local Government Board.
