§ MR. J. J. SHEE (Waterford, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will, in order to give effect to the 744 unanimous Resolution of the House of Commons of the 13th April 1894, introduce in this Session a short Measure to give boards of guardians in Ireland power to provide allotments of land similar to the power possessed by parish councils in England without the necessity of building houses.
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the Question addressed to me on this subject by the hon. Member for South Mayo on the 8th February last. To that reply I have nothing to add, except to say that in view of the legislation promised for next year it would be obviously inadvisable to introduce in the meantime a Measure such as that proposed.
