§ MR. HUGH LAW (Donegal, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has received from the county council of 221 Donegal any communication relative to the sums charged for audit by the Local Government Board; whether such charge has been declared by the Courts not to be legally payable; whether the Local Government Board have refused to refund the money; and whether the Irish Government will take any steps in the matter.
§ MR. CHERRYI would refer to my Answer to a similar Question put by the hon. Member for East Donegal yesterday.
§ MR. J. MACVEAGH (Down, S.)Has not the Court of King's Bench in Dublin decided that the money has been illegally collected, and will the right hon. Gentleman impress on the Irish Local Government Board the necessity—in the interests of law and order—of refunding the money?
§ MR. CHERRYThe hon. Member had better put that Question down.
§ MR. MACVEAGHI am afraid that the clerks would not let me.
