§ DR. THOMPSONTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he will explain why the Local Government Board refuse to allow the village of Drum, county Monaghan, to obtain a supply of pure drinking water.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) The Board has not refused to allow this village to obtain a pure water supply. On the contrary it has frequently urged upon the District Council the necessity of taking steps in this direction.
