HC Deb 02 February 1891 vol 349 c1532
MR. FLYNN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what Report has been received from the Local Government Board Inspector in respect to the amount and nature of the destitution prevailing in the Kanturk (County Cork) Union; and whether anything has yet been done with regard to the opening of public works in the district?

MR. MADDEN

A Report of the character indicated in the question has been received from the Inspector, and is now under consideration.

MR. FLYNN

I will put a further question upon the subject to-morrow.

MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether he has had brought to his notice the representations made to the Innishowen Board of Guardians as to the extreme distress existing in the congested district of Urris, and whether there is any immediate prospect of employment being afforded to the people, in order to avert the necessity of giving gratuitous relief?

MR. MADDEN

Representations regarding distress have been received from the Innishowen Board of Guardians. The condition of the district is being inquired into.

MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether there is any, and, if so, how much money over and above what is appropriated for the construction of the Killybegs and Glenties lines, available for similar purposes in other parts of Donegal?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON, Leeds, N.)

If, in addition to the agreements already made, the Glenties, Achill, and Collooney lines be constructed, the whole of the funds available under the Act of 1889 will be absorbed, and there will be no surplus for any other lines.
