HC Deb 17 June 1903 vol 123 cc1179-80
MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to I the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, seeing that farmers in the county Kerry have asked the Congested Districts Board for assistance to procure machines for potato spraying, he will state what will be done to assist them in this much needed work.

MR. WYNDHAM

Only one such application has been made to the Board from Kerry this year, and it has been complied with on the usual terms. Two of the Board's officers will give demonstrations in spraying in the county.

MR. J. P. FARRELL

Has any information been given to the local authorities on the subject?

MR. WYNDHAM

I think it is a matter of common knowledge.

MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL

On what conditions are machines provided?

MR. WYNDHAM

I must ask for notice of that.
