HC Deb 27 March 1899 vol 69 c494
MR. DILLON

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the polling place for the Gurradiee (county Leitrim) district electoral division has been fixed at Newtowngore National School, which is three miles from the nearest part of the division, and that by this arrangement some of the voters will be compelled to travel seven miles to record their votes; and whether he will use his influence with the returning officer to fix the polling place in a more convenient and central position?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND (Mr. GERALD BALFOUR,) Leeds, Central

The suggestion in the honourable Member's Question will be communicated to the Returning Officer for his consideration.
