HC Deb 21 March 1918 vol 104 cc1170-1
12. Mr. JOHN O'CONNOR

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it is intended to fill the vacancy of the office of His Majesty's Lieutenant for the county of Kildare; and, if so, will the declared wishes of the people, through the local governing bodies of the county, in respect thereof be regarded?

Mr. SAMUELS

An appointment to the vacant office is at present under consideration.

Mr. J. O'CONNOR

How long is it going to be considered, having regard to the fact that the late holder of the office died nearly twelve months ago?
