§ MR. FIELDTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state the amount of car-hire for 1905–6 paid to the revising barrister who sat at Newry, for journeys to and from Warrenpoint; and whether, seeing that there is good hotel accommodation in Newry, and that no official business was to be transacted at Warrenpoint, he will give instructions that in future such charges are to be disallowed, and also similar charges throughout Ireland.
(Answered by Mr. McKenna.) The amount paid in 1905–6 was £6 5s. The revising barrister explains that he did not consider that any extra expense was entailed by working the district from Warrenpoint, as compared with the cost of changing his quarters from place to place. Similar charges will not be allowed in future unless under very exceptional circumstances.
