§ DR. ROBERT AMBROSE (Mayo, W)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to a resolution of the Castlebar Board of Guardians of 8th May, in which they declare the existence of grave distress in the Addergoole and Ballynagoraher districts, and the necessity for relief works to cope with such distress; and what action will he take with regard to such resolution?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI have received a copy of the resolution referred to. Careful investigation has been made by the Local Government Board, since the resolution was passed, into the condition of the poorer classes in this district, and there does not appear to be any necessity for the adoption of exceptional measures, as suggested.
