HC Deb 02 December 1902 vol 115 cc924-5
MR. TULLY

I beg to ask the Cheif Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has received a complaint from the Secretary of the Irish Poor Law Association as to the manner in which the Jurors' List for Athy, No. 1 District, has been prepared by the officials appointed under the recent change in the law; and whether he can state what action the Local Government Board have taken on this matter; and if he will promote legislation to have this work carried out under the former system.

MR. WYNDHAM

A complaint of the character mentional was received. The results of inquiries made by the Board go to show that the allegations are greatly exaggerated, and in some cases, unfounded, and that on the whole the work is most carefully and efficiently done by the Secerataty of the County Council. On the general question of the propriety of alterning the existing law, I refer to my former replies.
