HC Deb 05 May 1892 vol 4 c184
DR. TANNER

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland how many labourers cottages have teen built in the Millstreet Union; and whether, in the event of any schemes now being under consideration in this and other Unions in Ireland, the increased allotment of one acre can be given to the labourers?

*MR. JACKSON

The number of cottages built in the Millstreet Union is 108. It will not be practicable for Boards of Guardians to grant the increased allotment of land until the enabling Bill becomes law.

DR. TANNER

Could the new Act be adopted by the Guardians in regard to the schemes now in preparation?

*MR. JACKSON

If any steps were taken, or if the Privy Council had sanctioned the scheme, the new Act could be applied.
