§ MR. AUSTIN (Limerick, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if steps will be taken by the Local Government Board to enforce the provisions of Section 3 of the Public Health (Amendment) Act, 1890, in Newcastle West, county Limerick, so as to abate the nuisance created by the washings and rancid scourings of the local creamery pouring into the main sewer of the town, which is held to be dangerous to health.
§ *MR. G. W. BALFOURThe newly elected Rural District Council has been urged by the Local Government Board to adopt Part 3 of the Public Health Acts Amendment Act of 1890, but it has declined to do so. The Local Government Board have no power to compel a sanitary authority to adopt this section of the Act, but if the Board receive a complaint under Section 15 of the Public Health Act of 1896, they will cause a local inquiry to be held into the matter.
