HC Deb 16 November 1908 vol 196 cc888-9
MR. GWYNN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can see his way to comply with the request formulated in a recent resolution of the Galway Urban District Council that the Connaught Winter Assizes should be held in Galway instead of in Limerick.

MR. BIRRELL

The Order in Council has already been passed and published in the Dublin Gazette directing the Assizes to be held in the City of Limerick. Arrangements have also been definitely made consequent on this Order, and it would be too late now, even if it were expedient, to make any change, as the Assizes will open in the first week in December.

MR. GWYNN

asked if arrangements could not be made to hold the Assizes in Galway next year.

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

replied that the arrangements were made each year when the proper time arrived.
