§ MR. MACALEESE (Monaghan, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if any of the grant of £40,000 made by Parliament towards the erection of labourers' cottages in Ireland was allocated to the Monaghan Union; if so, what amount of the allocation has been availed of; and, if it has not been availed of, does it stand to the credit of the Monaghan Union; if not, how and for what purpose has it been used?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURThe share of the Monaghan Union in the grant referred to was £205, and this sum is still lying to the credit of the Union for the purpose mentioned. The guardians have not, however, yet provided any cottages under the Labourers Acts.
