HC Deb 28 July 1896 vol 43 c811
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Local Government Board in Ireland sanctioned a considerable time ago the erection, on certain conditions, of 35 labourers' cottages in the Tulla Union, and the taking of 50 additional half-acres of land for existing cottages; and, have the Guardians, so far as it lay in their power, complied with the conditions, and, if so, has the Local Government Board now any objection to sanction the scheme?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. GERALD BALFOUR,) Leeds, Central

The Local Government Board are awaiting a further report from their auditor, which has been promised very soon, before considering the question of confirming the scheme.
