HC Deb 13 July 1903 vol 125 c408
MR. GILHOOLY (Cork Co., W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether a vacancy exists on the Congested Districts Board; and, if so, seeing that the Province of Munster is unrepresented on it, will he consider the advisability of giving it representation.

MR. WYNDHAM

There is no vacancy at present.

MR. GILHOOLY

When a vacancy arises will the claims of Munster be considered?

MR. WYNDHAM

The whole facts will be considered.

MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that numerous public boards in the south of Ireland have passed resolutions calling attention to the fact that Munster is not represented on the Board?

MR. WYNDHAM

Kerry has very effective representation in this House.

MR. FLAVIN

And I hope to make it more effective.
