HC Deb 21 May 1914 vol 62 cc2127-8
33. Mr. HACKETT

asked whether the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) will allow a pig market to be held in Thurles on Thursday, 28th May, or Monday, 1st June; and whether the Department will allow the monthly horse, cattle, and sheep fair to be held on Tuesday, 2nd June?

Mr. RUSSELL

The Department informed a deputation from Thurles on the 19th instant that it was intended, if nothing untoward occurred in the meantime, to withdraw the restrictions so as to allow a pig market to be held there on Friday, 29th instant; and it was understood that the market would be advertised for this date. The holding of cattle and horse fairs on a later date will be allowable if there is no further outbreak of disease.
