HC Deb 25 March 1902 vol 105 c999
MR. TULLY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, if he can say what was the nature of the report of Dr. MacWeeney as to the outbreak of typhoid fever in Boyle Union in connection with a local creamery; and can he state why no steps were taken to act on this report and close the creamery during the epidemic.

MR. WYNDHAM

The report was unfavourable. The creamery was closed for some days, during which the structural defects were remedied. The Local Government Inspector considers that the creamery may now be worked without danger to the public health.

MR. TULLY

Is there no power to close a creamery in Ireland when it is spreading infection?

[No answer was returned.]
