HC Deb 09 March 1900 vol 80 c490
MR. DOOGAN (Tyrone, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state how many officials, distinguishing between Roman Catholic and non-Roman Catholic, are employed in connection with Dungannon Workhouse; and how many Roman Catholic, and how many non-Roman Catholic, pauper inmates are respectively in the body of the house and in the infirmary.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) (for Mr. G. W. Balfour) Londondery, N.

With the exception of the chaplains of the workhouse, the Local Government Board have no information as to the religious persuasion of the officials connected with that establishment, whose appointments are made by the board of guardians. Nor have they any such information respecting the inmates. The hon. Member would probably obtain the information on application to the guardians.
