§ MR. DELANYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that resolutions have been forwarded from the Queen's County Branch of the Irish Medical Association to the board of guardians of each union in the county declaring that no qualified practitioner should apply for or accept a dispensary appointment vacated by a doctor who has not received suitable superannuation, or at a lesser salary than £200 per annum, and declining to do duty for or meet in consultation any colleague who contravenes the proposals contained in the resolutions, and further stating that they should use their best endeavours to dissuade any medical practitioner from becoming a candidate for a dispensary or workhouse appointment for which the salary is less than the amount fixed by the Association; and, if so, will he state what steps he proposes to take in the matter.
§ MR. WYNDHAMYes, Sir; a resolution to this effect was adopted. The matters referred to cannot properly be discussed within the limits of a reply to a Question.
