HC Deb 09 July 1896 vol 42 cc1112-3
MR. CAREW

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether a patent is about to be granted for the holding annually of a horse fair at Spancelhill, Ennis; and, if so, to whom; and, whether he is aware that a fair has been held at Spancelhill hitherto without any patent?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

A horse fair is now held at Spancelhill under a patent granted by James I., and no application for a new patent for a horse fair has been received.
