HC Deb 23 February 1903 vol 118 c506
MR. O'DOWD (Sligo, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will give the names of the counties and districts in Ireland which still remain proclaimed under the provisions of the Criminal Law and Procedure Act.

MR. WYNDHAM

The counties of Cavan, Clare, Cork, Galway, King's, Leitrim, Limerick, Longford, Mayo, Queen's, Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary, Waterford, and Westmeath, and the county boroughs of Cork, Dublin, Limerick and Waterford, are still subject to the provisions of the Act in respect of special juries and changes of venue. The summary jurisdiction clause of the Act has been withdrawn from portions of ten counties and from three county boroughs, and remains in force in portions of five counties—Clare, Limerick, Roscommon, Sligo and Tipperary.

MR. DELANY

What is the reason for maintaining these proclamations?

MR. WYNDHAM

The same as induced the original order, I presume.
