HC Deb 17 March 1896 vol 38 c1167
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether he is aware that John Finn, who has been nominated for the Guardianship of Cappogin Division of Lismore Union, only claims qualification in respect of a farm of which a Mr. Norman alleges he is only caretaker, Mr. Norman having repeatedly stated that the farm belongs to him; and, whether this constitutes a proper qualification for the office of guardian?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

The Local Government Board have communicated with the Returning Officer respecting the statements made in the Question of the hon. Gentleman.
