§ 20 and 21. Mr. MULDOONasked the Secretary to the Treasury (1) whether the eleven additional members proposed to be added to the Irish Agricultural Organisation Society mentioned in the Treasury letter of 1st April, 1913, have been selected; and, if so, will he give their names to the House; and (2) whether he will lay upon the Table copy of the correspondence which has passed between the Lords of the Treasury, the Development Commissioners, and the Irish Agricultural Organisation Society on the subject of the proposed Grant; whether the money has been paid over, and, if so, when; whether the three gentlemen to represent the various interests concerned mentioned in the Treasury letter of 1st April, 1913, have been selected; and, if so, can he give their names to the House as well as the names of the gentlemen who were asked, but who refused to act?
§ Mr. MASTERMANFor legal and other reasons, the Irish Agricultural Organisation Society have asked that one of the conditions set out in the Treasury letter of the 1st April, 1913, should be modified; and this request is now under consideration. No Grant has, therefore, been made to the society, and no action has been taken to select gentlemen to represent on the society's governing body the various interests concerned. When the correspondence is complete, I will consider whether any useful purpose would be served by publication.
