§ Mr. HAZLETONasked whether the Local Government Board for Ireland will hold an inquiry into the action of the Warrenpoint Urban Council in forcing boatmen at Omeath, which is outside their area as a local authority, to take out licences under Section 94 of the Public Health Acts Amendment Act, 1907; or what steps the Local Government Board proposes to take for the protection of the rights of the boatmen of Omeath?
§ Mr. BIRRELLAs I have already stated, the Local Government Board have no authority over the urban council in this matter. The question of the legality of the charge made upon the Omeath boatmen may be raised by proceedings for the recovery of the penalty imposed under Subsection 6 of the Section referred to.
