§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Government will give facilities for the passing of an Act to place the Clare County Infirmary under popular control, in the same way as "The Galway Hospital Act, 1892," placed the Galway Infirmary under the control of an elected Board?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. MORLEY,) Newcastle-upon-TyneThe case of the Galway Infirmary was exceptional. A deadlock had arisen, and the infirmary was practically dying out. This necessitated the exceptional legislation referred to. No such exceptional circumstances exist in the case of the Clare Infirmary, and it would not, therefore, be practicable to consider its case apart from the other infirmaries in Ireland.
