§ 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. WYNDHAMThere are at present no contracts placed by the Congested Districts Boards with persons outside Ireland.
§ MR. MACVEAGHMy Question was whether any contracts had been placed outside Ireland?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI think one was some years ago.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI will look into that. It is not very desirable to make public these matters.
