§ MR. GIBNEY (Meath, N.)I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland whether the Local Government Board for Ireland have refused the appeal of Navan and Kells Urban Councils against the decision of the county council of Meath to declare no main roads in the county; and, if so, on what grounds the Local Government Board so decided.
§ MR. ATKINSONThe reply to this question is in the affirmative. The Local Government Board were of opinion that these Urban Councils failed to establish a case for reversing the decision of the County Council—a decision which was approved of by seven of the eight Rural District Councils in the county.
