MR. J. P. FARBELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state on what date the order of the Local Government Board closing Maydew graveyard takes effect; whether it is within the Board's knowledge that no arrangements have been made to provide any further burial accommodation there: and whether, under these circumstances, the Board will suspend the enforcing of the order until some arrangement to provide for future interments can be made.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe order closing this burial ground will take effect from the 1st April next. The Local Government Board are not aware whether the rural district council have taken steps to provide future burial accommodation. If, however, the council make an effort in this direction, the Board, on the application of the council, will be prepared to extend the time for closing the graveyard, should such a step be necessary to enable the council to complete their arrangements.
