§ DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what is the number of labourers' cottages proposed to be erected and built in the Tralee Union, County Kerry, and whether anything approximating adequate housing for the labourers in this Union has yet been under consideration?
§ MR. JACKSONThe Local Government Board report that the Guardians of the Tralee Union have largely availed themselves of the provisions of the Labourers' Acts. The erection of 223 labourers' cottages in that Union has been sanctioned, of which 128 have been already built and 25 are now in progress.
§ DR. TANNERThe right hon. Gentleman has not answered the last part of my question.
§ MR. JACKSONI think it has been answered. A very large amount of labourers' cottages has been sanctioned already. As to the proposals that may be made for future accommodation I have no information.
§ DR. TANNERWill the Local Government Board sanction the erection of other houses in the district?
§ MR. JACKSONI have no doubt of it, if a proper case is made out in each instance.
