HC Deb 25 June 1902 vol 110 cc21-2
MR. MACVEAGH (Down Co., S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state if any boat-building contracts for the Congested Districts Board have been placed outside Ireland; and, if so, with what contractors, on what date, for what amount, and on whose recommendation.

MR. WYNDHAM

There are at present no contracts placed by the Congested Districts Boards with persons outside Ireland.

MR. MACVEAGH

My Question was whether any contracts had been placed outside Ireland?

MR. WYNDHAM

I think one was some years ago.

MR. MACVEAGII

Will the right hon. Gentleman give me the particulars?

MR. WYNDHAM

I will look into that. It is not very desirable to make public these matters.
