§ Mr. J. MacVEAGHasked whether the Chief Secretary's attention has been called to the resolutions passed by the committee of management of the Down asylum and other asylum committees in Ireland with regard to the resources of the local taxation account being insufficient to meet additional demands, and to the 444 probability that in future the grants may have to be reduced; and whether inquiries will be made as to the advisability of a readjustment of the financial arrangements?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI have received a number of resolutions on the subject. The matter is receiving my attention, but I am not in a position at present to add anything to my reply to the question asked by the hon. Member for West Limerick on the 17th June last.
