HC Deb 27 February 1899 vol 67 cc616-7
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether officers of the Inland Revenue in Ireland are allowed by the rules of the service to become candidates for and sit as district councillors and town commissioners under the Local Government (Ireland) Act?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

The Board of Inland Revenue have not yet issued any instructions upon this point; but the matter is under consideration.
