§
Amendment proposed—
Page 32, line 14, leave out 'clerk of the Union' and insert 'executive authority.'"—(Mr. J. H. M. Campbell)
MR. J. H. M. CAMPBELLsaid if the duties were to be transferred from the union to the district council it was only right that they should take with them the officer who had been for many years discharging those duties; and if the Amendment was carried the result would be that in every county, and in every union in Ireland, with two exceptions, the clerk of the union would become the clerk of the district council, while in Antrim and Cork, the two exceptions, the assistant clerk, who had also been the sanitary officer, would become the clerk of the district council. He thought, therefore, it was an Amendment which did no harm, and certainly it prevented a very great injustice to assistant clerks in the two counties he had mentioned.
