HC Deb 11 July 1898 vol 61 c477
MR. MCDERMOTT (Kilkenny, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the house of John Manning, in the townland of Monabricka, Kilkenny Union, has been certified to be unfit for human habitation; whether a representation form was filled up three years ago; and what steps have since been taken by the Local Government Board to provide him with a labourer's cottage?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

The facts are correctly stated in the first and second paragraphs. I understand that Manning's representation was received by the guardians when, they were engaged in the erection of cottages under previous schemes, and that the guardians decided to postpone making further schemes until these cottages were completed. The representation from Manning will be included in the next scheme.
