§ MR. MAURICE HEALY () CorkI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether complaint has been made of the necessity for an increased staff in the office of the Land Judge in Ireland, owing to the great stress of business under the Land Purchase Acts; whether, for the want of a sufficient staff, considerable delays take place in the offices, with the result that the land purchase transactions are sometimes greatly protracted; and whether any increase of staff will be made to cope with the extra work?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI would ask the honourable Member to address this Question to the Treasury. The sufficiency of the staff in the office of the Land Judge is not a matter that would come officially before the Irish Government.
