§ Mr. PATRICK MEEHANasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if the Board of Works in Ireland have definitely stopped all advances to farmers for drainage, the erection of hay barns, and other buildings; and whether the Board of Works will advance loans for such purposes applied for and partially investigated before August 1914?
§ Mr. ACLANDI would refer the hon. Member to the replies given to the hon. Member for North Wexford on the 19th November last and to the hon. Member for South Wexford on the 16th. To those replies I would add that exceptions are made in favour of loans advertised or promised conditionally before the suspension was authorised.
