§ CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that dissatisfaction exists owing to the inequality of treatment of the staff-of the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction, especially as regards the Catholic clerks in the Veterinary branch; and whether steps will be taken with a view to rectify the grievances complained of.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) Many Questions of similar import were answered by me last session. I can only repeat that there is not the slightest foundation for the suggestion that the position of the clerks referred to has in any way been prejudiced in consequence of their religious beliefs.
