HC Deb 17 February 1908 vol 184 c447
MR. MOORE (Armagh, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if it is the intention of the Treasury to remit the whole or part of the sum of £425 recently awarded by the Recorder and County Court Judge of Galway to the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction in Ireland for malicious injury to the property of the Department near Athenry, in the county of Galway.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. CHERRY,) Liverpool, Exchange

Perhaps I may be permitted to answer this Question on behalf of the Department of Agriculture, to whom it has been referred by my hon. friend the Secretary to the Treasury. An appeal against the award referred to in the Question has been lodged by the county council, and will be heard at the forthcoming Galway Assizes. The matter is therefore sub judice.
