§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland how many parishes in the county Kerry are scheduled as congested; how many parish committees are at work in the county; whether district councillors who are shopkeepers are objected to by the Board as members of those committees; and, if so, for what reason.
§ MR. WYNDHAMFifteen parishes are entirely comprised in scheduled areas, and fourteen partially. Grants have been offered in respect to thirteen of these parishes during the current year. In nine committees have already been formed. Under one of the Board's rules no shopkeeper is eligible for membership. This rule was made by the Board in the interests of the impartial administration of the grants.

§ MR. WYNDHAMI believe it applies throughout Ireland.
