HC Deb 23 June 1898 vol 59 c1225
Mr. MCCARTAN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will give the number of the claims made up to the present for compensation for damage to property arising out of the recent riot at Ballinahinch, county Down; and if he will state the total amount of the claims lodged in connection with this riot?

MR. ATKINSON (for Mr. GERALD BALFOUR)

Only one such claim has been made, for a sum of £55.

MR. MCCARTAN

Can the right honourable Gentleman say when these claims will be dealt with?

MR. ATKINSON

That rests with the local authorities. I cannot interfere with them.
