HC Deb 22 March 1900 vol 81 cc57-8
CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, as representing the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant for Ireland, whether he is aware that no representative of the South of Ireland at present occupies a seat upon the Congested Districts Board; and whether steps will be taken to rectify the omission.

MR. ATKINSON

The constitution of the Congested Districts Board is regulated by the 34th Section of the Purchase See The Parliamentary Debat's [Fourth Series], Vol. lxxv., page 84. of Land Act, 1891. I have no reason to believe that the interests of the congested districts in the south of Ireland have been neglected, and there is, at present, no vacancy on the Board.
