§ DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If it is a fact that the Protestant chaplain to the Skibbereen Union receives a yearly salary of £20; and, if it is true that there are at present, and have been for a considerable time, only two Protestant inmates of the Union?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)I am not able to answer the Question fully at present; I will give fuller particulars later. This salary of £20 has been given to the Protestant chaplain since his appointment in 1868. I believe there are at present three Protestant inmates in Skibbereen Workhouse; that does not, of course, include casuals.
