HC Deb 04 April 1889 vol 334 c1578
COLONEL NOLAN (Galway, N)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the Imperial contribution to local rates will be issued to the Irish local authorities?

*THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover Square

I am informed that it is expected that the proportion of the Probate Duty grant, payable to the Boards of Guardians in Ireland, will be distributed during the present month; but the similar distribution to the road authorities cannot be made till they have furnished certain necessary information, and will, therefore, probably have to be deferred till next month.
