§ MR. HAYDEN (Roscommon, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether it has been reported to the Local Government Board that the Vice Chairman of the Swinford Board of Guardians is interested in the contract for the supply of meat to the workhouse; and what steps has the Local Government Board taken in the matter?
*MR. J. MORLEYA complaint on this subject has been made to the Local Government Board, who have been informed by the Vice Chairman that he is neither directly nor indirectly concerned with the meat contract; that his mother is the contractor, and that he receives no profits out of her contracts. The propriety of making further inquiry into the facts is now under the consideration of the Local Government Board.
