§ MR. DELANYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, having regard to the fact that it has been alleged that the Catholic clerks in the Veterinary Branch of the Irish Agricultural Department had repeated in a communication to the secretary in May last several misstatements of fact, he will obtain specific instances of the misstatements contained in the communication in question.
§ MR. ATKINSON (for Mr. WYXDHAM)This is a matter affecting the internal discipline of the Department, with which it is competent to deal, and I see no necessity for asking the Department to furnish the information referred to. I must refer to the reply given on August 4th last by my right hon. friend to a similar Question † of the hon. Member.
