HC Deb 01 March 1910 vol 14 c823W
Captain COOPER

asked what amount was granted by the Department of Agriculture in subsidies to agricultural shows in Ireland in the year 1909?

Mr. BIRRELL

I understand that the amount expended by the Department in the year 1909 in connection with Agricultural Shows in Ireland was £3,926. Of this amount £3,581 was paid to County Committees of Agriculture towards recoupment of their expenditure on such shows, and the balance was expended directly by the Department in capital grants and on the work of inspection and judging.
