§ MR. MAHONY (Meath, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Royal Dublin Society to whom in 1888 and 1889 sums of £5,000 were paid for the encouragement of the breeding of horses and cattle in Ireland, out of the share of the Probate Duties allotted to Ireland, is a body subject to any proper control; whether he will state how many bulls have stood for service under this Grant in the mountainous districts of Ireland where the poorer portion of the population reside; whether in such cases, if any, he will state the name of the place where the bull stood, and the breed to which he belonged; whether it is a fact that no stallion has stood under this Grant in the County Kerry either in 1888 or 1889; and, whether the County Kerry has been excluded from the scheme proposed for stallions in 1890; and, if so, whether he can state the reason for this systematic exclusion of the County Kerry from the benefits of this Grant as regards stallions?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI have not yet received a Report upon this question, and must therefore ask the hon. Gentleman to defer it.
