§ MR. SHEEHANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, in the recent improvement scheme under the Labourers Acts promoted by the Mac-room Rural District Council, a labourer sent in a properly filled representation paper for a cottage on the lands of Mrs. Ellen Manning, Droumdrive, in the electoral division of Macloneah; that, though his present abode was pronounced unfit for human habitation, and that no objection was made to his claim for a cottage, his representation paper was never considered at the Local Government Board inquiry; and will he state whether his representation paper was mislaid in the offices of the Local Government Board, or what are the reasons why it was not considered in the ordinary course.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe scheme promoted by the district council contained no proposal to erect a cottage for this man, consequently his case was not considered at the inquiry.
