§ MR. JAMES DALY (Monaghan, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, if he will cause the Local Government Board for Ireland to wind up the scheme for the erection of labourers' cottages in Carrickmacross Union, which was commenced in 1883; is he aware that the solicitor who had the carrying through of the scheme, and who resides in Dundalk, cannot be got to furnish his account to the Guardians: and, what steps he proposes to take in the matter?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURThe fourteen cottages included in the scheme in question were reported by the Local Government Board Inspector to have been built in March, 1894. It appears that the bill of costs has been furnished, but has not yet been fully taxed. The clerk of the union states that the solicitor appearing for the Guardians before the taxing master, informed him recently that he feared taxation could not be finished before October.
