§ Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSYasked the Chief Secretary whether, in the event of the Government of Ireland Bill becoming law and the Irish Parliament set up under it, loans from the Board of Works for drainage, the erection of hay-barns, and so forth, will be obtainable as heretofore; and whether he will set out the Clause in the Bill dealing with this matter?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe continuance of a system of public loans for the purposes mentioned will be a matter for the Irish Government and Parliament. I would refer the hon. Member to Clauses 4 and 14 of the Bill.
