§ MR. MORROGHI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can inform the House whether Colonel Spaight, the Local Government Board Inspector, who as far back as July or August last year visited the south-western districts of the County of Cork with a view to inspect and report on the then anticipated failure of the potato crop, has made any Report; and, if so, what was the nature of his Report; and will he lay a copy of it upon the Table of the House?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURReports have been made by Colonel Spaight and other Inspectors to the Local Government Board with regard to the condition of the potato crop in certain districts of County Cork. I shall lay upon the Table shortly a Report as to this district from the Local Government Board, and that Report will be based in the main on the Reports of the Local Government Board Inspectors.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYWill the right hon. Gentleman inform me, in regard to the distress, whether it is intended that the Police, Resident Magistrates, and Local Government Board Inspectors shall be appointed by the Government to perform the duties of disbursing a private fund?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI must ask for notice of the question.
