§ 7. Mr. GINNELLasked the Chief Secretary what amount of money has been, or will be, obtained for Ireland from the Treasury by way of special Grant to agricultural institutions to meet loss of income during the War, corresponding to the £145,000 granted under this head in England; and how the money is to be allocated in Ireland?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI have been unable to trace the Grant of £145,000 to agricultural institutions in England to meet loss of income during the War referred to by the hon. Member. Grants amounting to £7,900, on account of the War, appear, however, to have been contributed to such institutions in England and Wales, and the Department of Agriculture and Technical. Instruction inform me that the matter of a corresponding Grant to that Department is under consideration.
