HC Deb 17 August 1901 vol 99 cc1300-1
MR. CULLINAN (Tipperary, S.)

On behalf of the hon. Member for East Donegal I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that sites for labourers' cottages in the Castlefin Electoral Division (Strabane District No. 2), county Donegal, were approved of by the Local Government Board inspector for two labourers named John Doherty and Michael Devine, who have since been evicted by the farmers for whom they worked by reason of their applications to the district council for cottages, and are at present residing in cabins unfit for human habitation; and, seeing the delay that has taken place in these cases, will the Local Government Board take steps to expedite the erection of the cottages as recommended by the council.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM, Dover)

The Provisional Order in respect of these cottages is in the press, and will be issued without delay.
