§ MR. M. M. BODKIN (Roscommon, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if his attention has been called to the unanimous Resolution of the Boyle Board of Guardians, setting out the general and acute distress within the limits of their Union, and urging the claim of the district to a share of the relief works about to be instituted by the Government; and, if he will kindly give that claim his early and favourable consideration?
MR. J. MORLEYI have been furnished with a copy of the Resolution in question. Careful inquiries are now in progress as to the condition of the people, and should any information reach the Local Government Board showing that there is a necessity for supplementing the ordinary Poor Laws, the matter will be promptly brought under the notice of Government.
