§ MR. BOLANDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that although schemes of technical instruction, approved of by the Department of Agriculture, can be put into operation in the congested portion of county Kerry, the grants by which alone they can be worked are not forthcoming; and can he state what steps will be taken to put the congested districts of the county on the same footing as the non-congested districts.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe funds available under the scheme of technical instruction adopted by the county committee, and approved by the Department, are applicable to congested and non-congested districts alike. As I have already stated, the Congested Districts Board have no funds to contribute to the county scheme.
