§ MR. HAZLETONI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland for what season it is proposed to appoint this year five new temporary inspectors under the Local Government Board for Ireland; by whom will they be appointed; what qualification will be necessary; and what will be salaries and duties of the office.
§ MR. BIRRELLIt is not proposed to appoint any new temporary inspectors under the Local Government Board. The provision of £2,500 in the Estimates is necessary in order to provide for the continued employment of the temporary inspectors who have been engaged at the rate of two guineas a day upon inquiries under the Labourers Acts. The appointments were made by the Local Government Board. No qualifications are prescribed, but care is taken to select experienced and suitable persons.
