HC Deb 31 March 1905 vol 144 c21
MR. DELANY

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the opinions of Irish local bodies as to the treatment by the Department of Agriculture of the Catholic gentlemen in the veterinary branch, and of the fact that the Vice-President's inquiry into the case took cognisance only of the views of the higher officials and did not admit evidence from the Catholic gentlemen concerned, he will consider the advisability of granting a full inquiry into the whole matter.

(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) I beg to refer to the Answer given to the hon. Member's Question on the 6th instant.† No further inquiry is called for or necessary.
