HC Deb 16 May 1892 vol 4 c958
MR. O'HANLON

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the distance from Glencolumbkille to the nearest polling station (County Donegal), an order can be made to give the Glencolumbkille voters a station, inasmuch as it is likely to be a contested Division at the next Election?

*MR. JACKSON

The hon. Member is perhaps not aware that I answered a similar question on the 5th of this month, and my answer was to the effect that I have no power to consider alterations of existing districts except on resolutions passed by Chairmen of Quarter Sessions.

MR. MAC NEILL

I put a sub-sequent question, in which I asked the right hon. Gentleman to communicate with the Chairman of Quarter Sessions, a supporter of his own.

*MR. JACKSON

And I recommended the hon. Member to communicate with the Chairman.

MR. O'HANLON

Will the right hon. Gentleman take the trouble to visit the district? I think his predecessor went to Killibegs.

*MR. JACKSON

I should be very glad of the opportunity of visiting this very beautiful district.
