§ MR. TIMOTHY M. HEALY (Louth, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, if his attention has been called to the distress in Glengad, Innishowen, County Donegal; has inquiry been made respecting recent representations from the locality; and, will any steps be taken to relieve the sufferings of the people on this coast by the construction of the works which are pressed for?
§ MR. JOHN MAINS (Donegal, N.)I wish to ask the light hon. Gentleman, before he answers this question, whether he has had a report from the Local Government Board Inspector, who was instructed to attend the meeting of the Board of Guardians; whether he is aware that since I asked a question a week ago, about the distress in Glengad, a public meeting has been held there, and at it the people determined to apply to the public for relief, and, also, whether the right hon. Gentleman has seen a list of subscriptions for the Glengad Relief Fund, published in the Derry Journal, of February 15?
MR. J. MORLEYMy attention has been called to the representations made, as to the existence of distress in this locality, but upon the information at present before me, I am afraid I have nothing to add to my reply to the similar question addressed to me on the 11th instant by the hon. Member for North Donegal. I am making further inquiry in the matter, however. I understand 953 that the Inspector did attend, and he has reported to the Local Government Board. My attention has been called to the list of subscribers.
