§ MR. S. YOUNG (Cavan, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Guardians of Cootehill Union have refused to make an improvement scheme under the Labourers' Acts, as recommended by Mr. Kelly, the Local Board Inspector; whether the Local Government Board have appointed a vice-guardian to carry out the Labourer's Acts in the Union; whether several representations have been made to the Local Government Board from Cootehill Dispensary District for an inquiry under Section 4 of the Act of 1891; and whether the Local Government Board have yet ordered such inquiry?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. MORLEY, Newcastle-upon-Tyne)The fact is as stated in 1421 the first paragraph. The Local Government Board have made an Order giving authority to their inspector to carry out the Labourers' Acts in this Union. Representations were received, as stated, from the Cootehill Dispensary District, and will now be dealt with by the Board's Inspector acting as the Rural Sanitary Authority. The Board informed the Solicitor for the applicants to this effect on the 29th December last.
