HC Deb 03 November 1902 vol 113 c1401
MR. TULLY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the attention of the Local Government Board has been called to the statement of Mr. Thomas Mahon, at the last quarterly meeting of the Mahon, District Council, that an unexpended balance of £3,000 to the credit of the Mohill Rural District has been appropriate‡ I by the county at large; anil whether, in view of the unanimous resolution of the District Council on this subject, the Local Government Board will direct a sworn inquiry into the matter.

MR. WYNDHAM

The statement in question has been referred by the Board to the auditor of the county accounts with a view to his investigating the matter, and, if necessary, taking such steps as will safeguard the interests of the Rural Distiict Council.

MR. TULLY

Why not have a sworn inquiry at which evidence can be taken?

MR. WYNDHAM

I am investigating the matter.
