HC Deb 17 November 1902 vol 114 cc1127-8
MR. TULLY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether he has received resolutions from several poor law boards refusing permission to the present lady inspector to examine the children boarded out at nurse; and whether he can state when it is proposed to appoint a Roman Catholic lady as an additional inspector, and what will be the conditions of the appointment.

MR. WYNDHAM

On June 26th I stated that the fist requisite of a case in favour of appointing a second lady inspectress was that all parties should co-operate to make the first a success. Some resolutions have been received and are to be regretted. But the general attack on the first appointment has ceased, and a second lady inspectress, Miss FitzGerald Kenney, who is, I understand, a Roman Catholic, has been appointed.
