HC Deb 27 March 1900 vol 81 c451
MR. GILHOOLY (Cork County, W.)

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, as representing the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether, in view of the fact that there are a great many fishing stations in the south of Ireland, and also that there is a large area scheduled as congested districts, he will consider the advisability of giving the south of Ireland representation on the Congested Districts Board.

*MR. ATKINSON

I have already stated that the constitution of the Congested Districts Board is regulated by statute. 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.
