HC Deb 03 May 1901 vol 93 cc613-4
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, having regard to the fact that the Rural District Council of Longford have frequently complained of the variation of the original order of the local Government Board changing the area of charge for Ardagh Burial Ground from Longford Dispensary Dis- trict, including Longford Urban District, into Longford Union, excluding Longford Urban District, and that this change has led to friction between the two bodies, he will, with a view to facilitating the carrying into effect of the Provisional Order, now direct that the original area of charge, namely, Longford Dispensary District, including the Urban District of Longford, be adhered to.

MR. ATKINSON

The whole question is at present under consideration, but I cannot give an assurance that effect will be given to the particular proposal mentioned.

MR. J. P. PARRELL

When may we expect a definite statement from the Government?

MR. ATKINSON

I cannot say.

MR. J. P. FARRELL

Will it be before Whitsuntide?

MR. ATKINSON

I cannot say.
