§ MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow. W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the guardians of the Shillelagh Union have protested against the appointment of Dr. Edgar Flinn to hold an inquiry into certain charges made against Dr. Bolster, medical officer of the Tinahely dispensary district, and whether he will advise the Local Government 731 Board to have the inquiry conducted by some other inspector.
§ MR. WYNDHAMDr. Flinn is the Medical Inspector of the district in question, and, since he has done nothing to forfeit the confidence of the Local Government Board, I see no reason for relieving him from the duty of holding the inquiry into the charges against Dr. Booster.
§ MR. JAMES O'CONNORIs it not the fact that he has lost the confidence of the Irish public?
