§ COLONEL NOLANasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of 1448 Ireland, If there are any temporary and movable hospitals now in the possession of the Local Government Board, or any other body in Ireland; and, in what time such a hospital could be delivered at a railway station?
§ MR. CAMPBELL - BANNERMANThere are no temporary movable hospitals in the possession of the Local Government Board; but there are a few Constabulary huts obtainable, which might be purchased by Sanitary Authorities in cases of emergency, and which could be delivered without any delay. Under the Cholera Hospitals Act of last Session local Sanitary Authorities have power to take sites compulsorily, and the Local Government Board ascertained and reported in July last that iron hospitals can be put up in a short time by Messrs. Maguire and Son, of Dublin, and by Messrs. Brady and Co., of Euston Road, London; also that they are kept in stock by Humphreys, of Albert Gate, and can be supplied immediately when ordered.
§ COLONEL NOLANCould the right hon. Gentleman name the number of hours which would be required to move one of these huts?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANNo; I cannot name the number of hours.
§ COLONEL NOLANI will ask the right hon. Gentleman can he inquire and name the number upon next Thursday?
§ MR. CAMPBELL - BANNERMANI will.
§ MR. SEXTONI would ask the right hon. Gentleman if he is aware whether any "Land League huts" are available?
