§ MR. MACNEILLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland how many Catholic members are on the Donegal District Asylum Board, and how many Protestant members; and whether, having regard 1117 to the fact that the Catholic population of the county far outnumbers all other denominations in it, he would recommend the appointment of other Catholic members?
§ MR. JACKSONThe Board of the Letterkenny District Asylum consists of 18 members, of whom nine are selected from nominations made by the Grand Jury, and nine are nominated by the Lord Lieutenant. There is no official record of the religions of the gentlemen so appointed.
§ MR. MACNEILLDoes the right hon. Gentleman know how many are Catholics and how many are not?
§ MR. JACKSONNo, I do not, and I suppose there is no record of it.
