§ MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)On behalf of the honourable Member for the St. Patrick Division of Dublin I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state the total area, total valuation, and total population of the Westport Union, County Mayo; how many electoral divisions are in that union with the valuation, number of houses in, and populaton of, each electoral division in the said union; whether he can state the amount of Government money spent in the union on the relief of distress this year, and how much will the guardians be asked to contribute to the relief of distress; and whether he can state by what amount does the outdoor relief for the six months ending June, 1898, exceed the amount of outdoor relief for the six months ended June, 1897?
§ MR. ATKINSON (for Mr. GERALD BALFOUR)It would be impossible to give all the information asked for by the honourable Member within the limits of an answer to a Question. But I will endeavour to procure as much of the information as can readily be given, and will communicate it to him when received.
