HC Deb 23 May 1887 vol 315 cc863-4
MR. T. M. HEALY (Longford, N.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Has the attention of the Local Government Board been drawn to the Resolution of the Granard Guardians protesting against the delay in making a Provisional Order for the scheme of labourers' cottages in that Union, inquired into by the Local Government Board Inspector nearly six months ago; and will attention now be given to the matter, as the summer is the best time for building?

THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY (Colonel KING-HARMAN) (Kent, Isle of Thanet)

(who replied) said, the Local Government Board had received the Resolution referred to, and the delay was owing to the extent of the scheme, and to the fact that further local inquiry was necessitated as a question of a change of site arose, and a Supplementary Report was required from the Inspector.
