HC Deb 18 October 1909 vol 12 c14
Mr. CONOR O'KELLY

asked whether any proposal was made at the last meeting of the Congested Districts Board for Ireland to subsidise the Irish Agricultural Organisation Society to the extent of £1,000 per year, or any other sum; and, if so, with what result?

Mr. CHERRY

I am informed by the Secretary of the Board that no such proposal was either made or discussed at the meeting of the Congested Districts Board referred to.

Mr. CONOR O'KELLY

Will the right hon. Gentleman say whether that proposal was on the agenda?

Mr. CHERRY

I could not say. I have only the information which I have given.

Mr. CONOR O'KELLY

I shall put down another question on the subject.

Mr. CHERRY

If the Chief Secretary was here he could answer the question. He was present himself at the meeting.
