HC Deb 28 February 1896 vol 37 c1382
MR. J. O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)

In the absence of the hon. Member for South Wexford, Mr. P. FFRENCH, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the sum of £2,419 11s. 7d., due to the County Wexford Road Authorities for the year ending 31st March, 1894, out of the Probate Duties Grant, has been paid; and, if not, will he recommend its immediate payment, as the cess in Wexford for 1890 is unusually high?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I am informed that payment of the sum mentioned in the Question was ordered in November, 1894, and that it appears from the official records that the County Authorities have cashed all the orders sent to them.
