§ MR. M'GOVERN (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that the Fermanagh County Council employed the Tory election agent for county Fermanagh to draw up a scheme to change the county electoral divisions and electoral districts; has any other county council in Ireland taken any steps to change the county or district electoral divisions as fixed by the Local Government Board; and what steps do the Local Government Board intend to take in this matter.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI have no information on the first part of the question. The proposal to hold an inquiry into the inequalities of the present electoral system was adopted by the county council on the recommendation of a Committee of that body; the details of the scheme were worked out by the secretary and two of the principal officers of the council. So far the Board has not received other schemes of a similar nature. In answer to the third inquiry, I would refer to my reply to the question put to me on Thursday last by the hon. Member for South Fermanagh, †
