§ MR. CAREW (Kildare, N.)I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that a site for the erection of a labourer's cottage, on a farm adjoining the Curragh of Kildare, has been selected and approved of by the Naas Board of Guardians, and that the contractor employed by the Guardians for the building of the cottage has been unable to undertake the work, in consequence 511 of the refusal of the Deputy Ranger of the Curragh to allow him access to the site; and whether, inasmuch as the only means of access is across a strip of waste land about nine yards in width between the public road and the farm, over which a right of way has always existed, he will state under what authority the Deputy Ranger is acting in closing up a right of way?
§ MR. BRODRICKThe War Department has no information on this subject, as the Deputy Ranger of the Curragh is under the jurisdiction of the Irish Board of Works.
