§ MR. T. M. HEALYI beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, whether he is aware that a workman in England can appeal to the House of Lords under the Workmen's Compensation Act, whereas an Irish workman under the same Act has no such appeal; and will he do anything to assimilate the Law in Ireland, as regards appeals to the House of Lords, to that of England.
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.The County Court Appeals system in Ireland, as the hon. Member will admit, differs from that which exists in England, and there is some difficulty in making an exception in the class of cases mentioned; nor am I aware that there is any demand for the change suggested, but I am quite willing to consider the matter.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYIs there any reason why the English working man should have this right of appeal, and why it should be denied to the Irish working man?
§ MR. ATKINSONThe system is entirely different in the two countries.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYThen put them both on the same footing.
