§ COLONEL HUGH MCCALMONT (Antrim, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the evidence given recently in London before the Irish Horse Breeding Commission, the whole weight of which was against the introduction of Hackney blood into Ireland as being ruinous to it as a hunter producing or high class harness-horse country, the services of the Hackney stallions belonging to the Congested Districts Board will be withheld pending the finding of the Commission?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI have referred this Question to the Congested Districts Board, but I hardly think it likely they will take any action pending the Report of the Commission.
