§ MR. DEASYasked 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-BANNERMANIt 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 then chairmen 962 were chosen. Two Guardians have since complained of the course pursued; but the Local Government Board see no reason whatever to interfere.
§ MR. DEASYWas not the election conducted contrary to the regulations of the Local Government Board?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANNo; I think not.
