I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1) how many meetings have been held by the Croagh Dispensary Committee, Ballycastle, North Antrim, during the past year, and what has been the average attendance at each meeting; (2) if the secretary always writes the minutes, or does the medical officer perform that duty; and (3) if it is true that some of the members have never attended any meeting since their election by the board of guardians?
