HC Deb 26 July 1889 vol 338 c1536
DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)

On that question might I ask the right hon. Gentleman opposite who represents the Government if he will take some steps to try and cure the insanitary state of Clonmel Gaol? I offer these observations in a moderate way, not merely on my own behalf, but on behalf of any other unfortunate person who may be confined there. The present condition of affairs is unsatisfactory and wrong in every possible way, and I sincerely hope that though I may not be here to take part in the consideration of this matter on the Estimates, some attention will be given to it. I have put this matter forward in the interests of that common humanity which is the right even of the humblest citizen.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RITCHIE,) Tower Hamlets, St. George's

I am quite sure that if the hon. Gentleman will make a representation to my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, he will give it due consideration.

DR. TANNER

I beg, Sir, to make it to you——

* MR. SPEAKER
