§ MR. KENNEDY (Kildare, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he has received a resolution unanimously adopted by the Leixlip branch of the Irish Industrial League urging upon the Local Government Board for Ireland the necessity of having labourers' cottages speedily erected for the Leixlip district; if he can state what steps have as yet been taken by the Local Government Board and the Board of Guardians to provide labourers' cottages for this district; and whether, in view of the well-known unsanitary state of the present dwellings of the poor at Leixlip, he will direct the Local Government Board to hasten the 1100 completion of a scheme to provide better accommodation?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. MORLEY,) Newcastle-upon-TyneI have received a copy of the resolution referred to. The Local Government Board are now preparing an Order for the erection of nine labourers' cottages in Leixlip, and will endeavour to expedite the building operations by every means within their power.
