Mr. O'MALLEY

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether his attention has been drawn to the outbreak of fever at Lettermore, in the Oughterard Union; and whether he will authorise an inquiry to be held with a view of ascertaining and removing the cause or causes of the periodic outbreaks of fever in this district?

Mr. DUKE

Investigations are being made by the medical inspector of the Local Government Board with a view of ascertaining and, if possible, removing the cause of the outbreak of fever at Letter-more. If further inquiry appears to be necessary, it will be made.
