HC Deb 26 March 1897 vol 47 cc1430-1
Mr. JAMES DALY (Monaghan, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1) whether he has received a resolution from the Carrickmacross Town Commissioners, requesting the Government to extend to Ireland the provisions of the Agricultural Rating Act passed last Session for England; and (2) what steps he intends taking to carry out the terms of the resolution referred to?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. GERALD BALFOUR,) Leeds, Central

The resolution referred to has been received. As to the second paragraph, I have nothing to add to my former replies to similar questions on the subject.
