§ SIR T. ESMONDE (Kerry, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if the Irish Local Government Board propose to take any steps to enable the Dingle fishermen to secure proper house accommodation; and what action it proposes to take in reference to these fishermen, whose houses have been declared by the local Sanitary Inspector to be unfit for human habitation?
MR. J. MORLEYI regret I cannot at present add anything to my reply to the question put by the hon. Baronet on the 4th instant. The Dingle Board of Guardians did not meet on Thursday last, and consequently have not yet come to any final decision as to the representation made to them by the fishermen. Pending the decision of the Guardians, the Local Government Board are unable to say what steps they may find it necessary to take.
