§ Mr. NOLANasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that the dissatisfaction of the people in the Collon district of the Ardee union, county Louth, with regard to the want of a resident dispensary doctor, shows no sign of abatement; and, if so, whether he will ask the Irish Local Government Board to now reconsider their decision upon the point, and to allow the old arrangement to be re-established?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Local Government Board are satisfied that no substantial ground exists for complaints that the arrangements for medical relief in this dispensary district are inadequate. In these circumstances there appears to be no reason for reverting to the arrangement which was abandoned in 1904 after full deliberation.
