§ MR. CAREW (Dublin, College Green)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, having regard to the fact that the provisions of the Lunacy Act, 1890, for the boarding out of pauper lunatics have been largely availed of in England and Scotland, to the great advantage of both the lunatics themselves and the ratepayers, the Government will, when the Irish Local Government Bill is passing through the House of Lords, cause to be inserted the fifty-seventh section of that Act among the Acts the provisions of which may be made applicable to Ireland by an Order in Council?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI am afraid the Government cannot undertake to introduce Amendments of the general law affecting lunatics into the Local Government Bill.
