HC Deb 08 August 1893 vol 15 c1545
MR. KENNEDY (Kildare, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that the lists of voters for the Car bury polling district of the North Kildare Division of the County of Kildare have not been published on the date and in the places prescribed by Statute; if so, who is to blame for this breach of the Franchise Law; and what steps will the Irish Government take to prevent a repetition of such neglect?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. MORLEY,) Newcastle-upon-Tyne

The lists were duly delivered to the Constabulary for publication by the Clerk of the Crown and Peace. They were posted up in one portion of the polling district, but inadvertently omitted to be posted in other portions of the district. The mistake was rectified on the 30th ultimo.

MR. T. M. HEALY (Louth, N.)

This is a matter in which the public take a keen interest. Who is to blame?

MR. J. MORLEY

I think it was the sergeant of police who made the mistake.
