§ MR. MULHOLLAND (Londonderry, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether representations in accordance with the provisions of the Labourers (Ireland) Acts have during the last six months been received by the Limavady Board of Guardians from Aghanloo, Myroe, Fruithill, and Lislane; whether any improvement schemes have been prepared by the Sanitary Authority; whether a memorial, in accordance with the provisions of the Labourers Act, 1891, has been received by the Local Government Board from any of these districts; and whether it is his intention to obtain a Report upon the sanitary condition of the cottages in this part of County Derry from the Inspector to the Local Government Board?
§ MR. JACKSONRepresentations have been received by the Limavady Board of Guardians from persons residing in the districts mentioned. The Guardians, after reading reports from the medical officers of health, decided that new cottages were not required in the electoral divisions of Aghanloo and Fruithill, there being several unoccupied houses in those districts. They also decided that the owners of the houses represented to be unsanitary should put them into a sanitary condition. As regards Lislane electoral division, the Guardians are of opinion that it has a sufficient number of houses. In Myroe electoral division they are taking steps for the erection of two cottages. Representations have bees received by the Local Government Board on the subject; but, under the circumstances represented, they have decided not to interfere at present with the Guardians' discretion in the cases.
