MR. D.SULLIVAN (Westmeath, S.)(for Sir THOMAS ESMONDE) (Dublin Co., S.) asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If all the married attendants in Dundrum Criminal Asylum are given lodging allowance; and, if not, why not?
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY (Colonel KING-HARMAN) (Kent, Isle of Thanet)(who replied) said, six out of 10 married attendants were in receipt of lodging allowances. At the end of last year the Irish Executive had under consideration the question of extending their allowances to the other men; but the Treasury decided that as the Estimates were then being closed no decision could then be arrived at. The matter, however, had not been, lost sight of.
