§ Mr. FARRELLasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that, unless legislation is immediately passed suspending them, the triennial elections of county and district councillors in Ireland must be set up inside a few weeks; whether he is aware that uncertainty on the point prevails in the Irish County Councils, some of which have appointed 570W returning officers whilst others have not; and whether he proposes to set all doubts at rest by announcing the decision of the Government on the point forthwith?
