§ MR. BOLANDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of 1124 Ireland whether he has received a copy of the resolution, passed by the County Kerry Technical Instruction Committee on the 4th inst., to the effect that it would be impossible to continue to work satisfactorily technical schemes in that county if arrangements are not made between the Department and the Congested Districts Board to give grants towards the county schemes in respect of technical schemes in congested districts; and whether he will take steps to secure to the congested districts of the county the advantages of the county technical instruction schemes.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe resolution has been received. I informed the hon. Member on April 11th † that the Department's funds, under the county scheme, are applicable to congested districts and non-congested districts alike, but that the Congested Districts Board have no funds to contribute to the county scheme. I fear I can add nothing to that reply.
