HC Deb 22 March 1905 vol 143 c799
MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the committee of the Kerry County Council have repeatedly during the past five years recommended a grant of £80 to the Technical School, Presentation Convent, Cahirciveen; and can he state for what reason the Department of Agriculture has refused To sanction this grant.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WALTER LONG, Bristol, S.)

The Department declined to sanction a grant for the equipment of a hosiery industry in this institution because they were of opinion that the capitation grant of £2 per head, payable under the county council scheme of technical instruction, would afford adequate aid.
