HC Deb 20 June 1890 vol 345 cc1490-1
MR. BLANE (Armagh, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what is the amount of Poor's Rate due by the immediate lessors in respect of holdings valued at £4 and under in the Union of Castleblaney?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The Local Government Board are informed by the Clerk of the Castleblaney Union that at present only one immediate lessor in the Union owes Poor's Rate in respect of holdings valued at and under £4 per annum, the amount due being £4 6s. 1d. Payment has been promised.

MR. BLANE

As the holding is so very small will the Local Government Board insist on payment being made?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I cannot answer that question.
