§ MR. O'KELLY (Mayo, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has received resolutions from the Mayo County Council and the Mayo District Asylum pointing out the inconvenience and expense that would be involved in putting the new Public Bodies Order into practice, and the unworkable character of many of its provisions, especially in regard to district asylums; and whether, in view of the fact that the Orders now in force, which were devised by the Local Government Board itself, have given satisfaction generally, the new Order will be withdrawn.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe resolution of the county council merely asked permission to adopt a special form of book, and this application will receive consideration. The resolution of the district asylum committee was to the effect stated, but the Board pointed out in reply that no changes had been made in the system of asylum accounts which were not rendered necessary by recent legislation or were not suggested by experience. It is not intended to withdraw the Order.
