HC Deb 04 July 1904 vol 137 cc471-2
MR. MOONEY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if his attention has been called to the delay of the Local Government Board in giving their decision on the appeal of the Rathmines Commissioners against the decision of the Dublin County Council; and when this decision may be expected.

THE CHIEF SECEETAEY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) Dover

There has been no delay. The Inquiry was held at the end of May. The minutes of evidence, which are voluminous, were received by the Board on the 10th June. A decision will be come to as soon as possible.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

Have the Local Government Board consulted the Law Officers of the Crown on this matter?

MR. WYNDHAM

I must ask for notice of that.
