§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, considering the population of congested Kerry is over 80,000, or one-sixth of the whole of congested Ireland, that the emigration is the highest in Ireland, the poverty and needs of the people as great as in any part of the congested areas, and that since the formation of the Congested Districts Board no man from Kerry has been co-opted, and that little or nothing his been done for the people, he will nominate a man from Kerry to fill the next vacancy.
§ THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,for Mr. WYNDHAM) Londonderry, N.,My right hon. friend replied to a similar Question put to him yesterday by the same hon. Member.† The claims of Kerry will be duly considered on the occurrence of a vacancy on the Board.
§ MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)Will the matter receive the consideration it merits?
§ MR. ATKINSONWhen I said that it will be duly considered I think I conveyed that.
