HC Deb 16 February 1904 vol 129 c1497
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether those who held the sworn inquiry into the sanitary condition of Kilkee, which was held last June, have issued a report, and whether another sworn inquiry on the same subject has been ordered; and, if so, what is the reason for the second inquiry, and at whose expense it will be held.

MR. WYNDHAM

The local shorthand writer, employed to take notes of the evidence given at the inquiry, failed to furnish a transcript to the inspectors. They were unable consequently to make a report. Another inquiry has been ordered. The question of the incidence of the cost cannot be decided pending a decision on the report and evidence.
