§ MR. FOLEY (Galway, Connemara)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with reference to the vacancy which has been created in the lieutenancy of Galway by the death of Lord Clonbrock, whether, in view of the fact that the Bench in Galway is mainly composed of landlords and Conservatives, while there are practically no men on the Bench in sympathy with the general body of the population, it is intended, in filling up the lieutenancy, to appoint some person whose views are in sympathy with the great majority of the people of Galway?
§ MR. BRYCE (for Mr. J. MORLEY)There is no vacancy in the lieutenancy of the county and town of Galway. The late Lord Clonbrock resigned the lieutenancy in May, 1892, on account of advanced age and loss of sight, and his eldest son (who now by the death of his father becomes Lord Clonbrock) was. appointed in his room.
§ MR. BRYCEThat question, if put at all, should obviously be addressed to those who made the appointment.
