§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Dublin Co., S.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he is aware that the voters of Blackrock, Cabintely, Dalkey, and Little Bray, in South County Dublin, have to go long distances at great loss and inconvenience to attend the Revision Courts as at present arranged; if he is aware that there is a strong feeling in favour of having Revision Courts held in each of the places above-named; and, whether, under the circumstances, the Irish Government will take steps to establish those Revision Courts?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)I find the lists of voters for the Blackrock and Dalkey polling districts are at present revised at Kingstown, which can be reached by rail from either of these places in about 10 minutes; and that the Cabintely lists are revised at Dundrum, which can be reached by rail from Carrickmines (one mile distant from Cabintely) in about 15 minutes. Little Bray is not a polling place, and does not require a separate Revision Court. It is a suburb of Bray, and is reached from Dundrum (where the lists are now revised) in about 25 minutes. If dissatisfaction exists with the present arrangements, the proper course is for any of the ratepayers concerned to submit a Memorial to the Lord Lieutenant, who will give the matter his careful consideration.
