HC Deb 25 January 1897 vol 45 c388
MR. PATRICK M'HUGH

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland how much money has been spent in the years ended 31st March, 1895 and 1896, by the Irish Congested Districts Board in experiments on horse breeding at the Bray stud farm?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I do not quite understand what the hon. Member means by "experiments" on horse breeding. The ordinary expenditure on the stud farm at Shankill, near Dublin, for the year ended March 31st, 1895, amounted to £1,126 15s. 5d., and for the year ended March 31st, 1896, to £1,146 9s. 2d.
