§ Mr. BYRNEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the taxation of Ireland reported, in 1897, that Ireland was being overtaxed to the extent of two and three-quarter millions; and if, before the next Budget is proposed, he will consider the condition of Ireland's industrial resources and her inability to pay any further taxes?
§ Mr. McKENNAI am aware of the views expressed in the various Reports by the Royal Commissioners. As regards the last part of the question, I fear that I can add nothing to the answer I gave to the hon. Member on 29th February.
