HC Deb 20 May 1901 vol 94 cc600-1
MR. FLYNN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if his attention has been called to the proceedings at a conference in Mallow on the 14th inst. between the representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction and delegates from the county councils of Munster and from the Munster Dairy School, in reference to the provision for agricultural instruction in Munster; is he aware that a resolution was passed at the conference to the effect that there should be no unnecessary delay in giving effect to the provisions of the Act of 1899, Section 16, Sub-section (1), which has allocated a capital sum of £10,000 to extend the Munster Dairy School and Agricultural Institute; and whether, in view of the result of this conference, and of the fact that the Cork County Council has voted a sum of £1,000 a year towards the upkeep of the institute, immediate steps will be taken by the Department to give effect to the above-mentioned provisions of the Act of 1899.

MR. WYNDHAM

No unnecessary delay will take place in giving effect to the conclusions arrived at.
