§ MR. TULLY (Leitrim, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Local Government Board have received a resolution passed unanimously by the Roscommon County Council asking their sanction to the payment of the arrears of poundage to Rate Collector Hanson, Castlerea, on the ground that his status as poor rate collector was altered when he was transferred to the county council; and, if so, whether the Local Government Board have granted their sanction to this payment.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe Board is not prepared to grant any further extension of time to this collector in respect of the years 1902 and 1903. The Board has granted an extension of time for the year ended 31st March last.
