HC Deb 15 May 1891 vol 353 cc774-5
MR. A. O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has received any communication from the Glenties Board of Guardians requesting a sworn inquiry into the state of the Lower Rosses district, alleging the pressing necessity of relief works to save the lives of the people, and urging the establishment of a local fever hospital and of a local dispensary; whether he has received, within the last few days, any official Report relating to destitution and disease in the Rosses; and what the Government intend to do in the matter? I may add that the sworn inquiry is that to which I have previously referred.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

I have not received the Report referred to; it has not reached my hands.

MR. A. O'CONNOR

Will the right hon. Gentleman cause further inquiries to be made during the Recess?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

Yes.
