HC Deb 27 April 1885 vol 297 cc807-8
MR. DEASY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If the Local Government Board have received a communication from a guardian of the Skibbereen Union, objecting to the recent elections of chairman, vice- chairman, and deputy vice-chairman, respectively, on the ground that the elections were irregularly carried out; and, whether the Local Government Board will order new elections for the above officers?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

It appears that the voting at the first election was equal, and that, by unanimous consent, the election was postponed to a later date, when the three Chairmen were chosen. Two Guardians have since complained of the course pursued; but the Local Government Board see no reason whatever to interfere.
