§ DR. TANNERI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether any, and, if so, what relief works are intended to be instituted in the Kanturk Union for the relief of labourers in the district?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe condition of Kanturk Union is receiving careful attention. It has not so far been found necessary to open relief works there.
§ DR. TANNERIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the gentlemen who are under the Poor Law Board have made repeated visits and reported unfavourably upon the condition of the labourers in this district?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI have said the condition of the Union is receiving attention.
§ DR. TANNERIf it is clearly shown that the people are in a very bad condition—starving condition—will something be done?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURIf relief works are necessary they will be started.
