HC Deb 15 February 1895 vol 30 cc835-6
MR. T. CURRAN (Sligo, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he has received resolutions, passed at a public meeting at Curry, South Sligo, calling upon the Government to at once open public works, and give small loans to the occupiers of land to save the lives of the people; and, if he is prepared to state what measures (if any) the Irish Government have decided upon to cope with the destitution pointed to in these resolutions?

MR. J. MORLEY

My attention has been drawn to the resolutions referred to. I have asked the Local Government Board to furnish me with a Special Report as to the alleged existence of distress in this district. I have directed that a Special Report should be obtained.
