HC Deb 19 April 1898 vol 56 c414
MR. FIELD

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether he can state if it is required to put the names and qualifications of women upon the requisition forms now being distributed in Dublin city and county; and whether it is intended to issue another requisition form later on for the purposes of the proposed Local Government (Ireland) Bill?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.

The present requisition forms, having been issued under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act, 1884, only require the names and qualifications of men to be stated. If the Local Government (Ireland) Bill be passed giving the qualification to women, as proposed, of course new requisition forms will have to be issued.
