§ MR. F. MANDEVILLE (Tipperary, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland when will the Local Government Board send the valuer to value the plots of land for the labourers in the parish of Emly, County Tipperary; and why has the Local Government Board delayed such a very long time about getting those valuations made (under the Labourers' Act) in Emly and Rhodus?
*MR. JOHN MORLEYI am informed by the Local Government Board that the scheme for the erection of labourers' cottages in this parish is not yet ripe for the appointment of an arbitrator. Appeals have been lodged against four of the 80 cottages sanctioned by the Board's provisional order, and these appeals must be heard by the Privy Council before the scheme can legally be carried into effect. When the Order in Council shall have been issued, the sanitary authority can apply to the Board of Works to appoint an arbitrator to assess the compensation to be paid for the lands authorised to be acquired. The appeals will be heard before the Privy Council on the 5th June.
