§ MR. SLOANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if, as promised, he has inquired into the irregularities connected with the Auxiliary Asylum at Youghal; if an assistant to the medical superintendent has been appointed; if qualified attendants have been appointed to take charge of the insane patients; if the chaplain has surrendered the house built for an assistant medical superintendent; and if the resident medical superintendent of the Cork Asylum is now permitted to visit the Auxiliary Youghal Asylum.
§ MR. WALTER LONGYes, Sir, inquiry has been made and the Government are now in correspondence with the committee of management on the subject. No resident medical assistant has been appointed, a visiting physician being still in charge. The institution is managed by a community of nuns assisted by ordinary asylum attendants. The Answers to the two remaining Questions are in the negative.
