HC Deb 07 July 1910 vol 18 cc1764-5
Mr. HAZLETON

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he was aware that the urban council of Warrenpoint had adopted a by-law restricting the rights of the boatmen who plied for hire between Omeath and Warrenpoint; whether the Local Government Board had sanctioned such by-law; and, if so, whether, on representations as to its hardship on the boatmen of Omeath being made, the Board would reconsider the question?

Mr. REDMOND BARRY

The Local Government Board have no information regarding the by-law mentioned in the question.

Mr. MacVEAGH

Are the Warrenpoint Commissioners not quite within their rights in passing this by-law.
