§ by this Act, each of the following administrative counties, that is to say, the counties of Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, Roscommon, Mayo, Galway, Clare, and Kerry, 163 shall be a congested districts county, and the four rural districts of Bantry, Castletown, Schull, and Skibbereen, in the county of Cork, shall together form one congested districts county.
§ (2) The council of the administrative county shall be the local authority of the congested districts county, except in the case of the congested districts county in the county of Cork.
§ (3) For the purposes of this Part of this Act there shall be a joint committee of the councils of the rural districts of Bantry, Castledown, Schull, and Skibbereen, consisting of two persons chosen out of their body by each of the said councils, and that committee shall be the local authority of the congested districts county in the county of Cork.
§ (4) No electoral division shall, after passing of this Act, be or form part of a congested districts county, unless it is included in a congested districts county constituted under this section.
§ (5) The Local Government Board for Ireland may make rules regulating the election, meetings, and procedure of the said joint committee.
§ Lords Amendment: In Sub-section (1), after the word "county" ["shall be a congested district county"] insert "the four rural districts of Ballyvaghan, Ennistymon, Kilrush, and Killadysert in the county of Clare, shall together form one congested districts county."
§ Mr. BIRRELLI move to leave out the word "four" ["four rural districts"] and insert instead thereof the word "six," in order that later on, after the word "Kilrush," we may insert Scariff and Tulla.
§ Mr. WILLIAM REDMONDI beg to move, as an Amendment to the proposed Amendment, to leave our, "six" and insert "eight."
§ Mr. DEPUTY-SPEAKER (Mr. Emmott)I am afraid that that cannot be done now. First of all we must leave out the word "four." When we are dealing with the insertion of the word "six" the hon. Member can vote against it.
§ Question, "That the word 'four' stand part of the clause," put, and negatived.
§ Question, "That the word 'six' be there inserted," put, and agreed to.
§ Mr. BIRRELLI beg to move, after the word "Kilrush," to insert the words "Scariff" and "Tulla."
§ Question, "That the words proposed be there inserted," put, and agreed to.
§ Question, "That this House doth agree with the Lords Amendment, as amended," put, and agreed to.
§ Further Lords Amendments agreed to.
