§ Captain FOXCROFTasked the Chief Secretary whether his attention has been called to the circular recently sent by the Markets Committee of the Dublin Corporation to the Dublin Cattle Sales-masters' Association, warning them that on and after the 20th June it shall not be permissible for any pen-holder in the Dublin cattle markets to sell stock for any member of the Royal Dublin Society until the Royal Dublin Society amends the overwhelmingly non-Catholic and anti-national personnel of its governing committees and its various sub-committees; whether, in view of the hardship and loss which this illegal action on the part of the Dublin Corporation Markets Committee is inflicting on farmers who are members of the Royal Dublin Society, he intends to take any and, if so, what steps in the matter; whether he proposes to appoint a Committee to take over and discharge the functions of the Dublin Corporation; and, if necessary, to introduce legislation with this object?
§ Mr. HENRYI understand that there has been an amicable settlement of the difficulties which arose between the Dublin Corporation Markets Committee and the Royal Dublin Society.
