HC Deb 22 March 1886 vol 303 cc1494-5
MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, in view of the hardship inflicted on the inhabitants of the Barony of South Raphoe in county Donegal, in having to go all the way to Lifford, he will suggest to His Excellency the desirability and the convenience of having quarter ses- sions held at least twice a year at Stranorlar?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. JOHN MORLEY) (Newcastle-on-Tyne)

The Quarter Sessions of the County Donegal were, after inquiry, re-arranged by Proclamation in May last year, and in the following October a further Memorial was presented to the Privy Council; but that Body decided that it was inexpedient to make any further changes until the effect of the Proclamation was better ascertained.

MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when the matter will be reconsidered?

MR. JOHN MORLEY

I cannot say at present.
