§ MR. SHEEHAN (Cork Co., Mid)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the fact that railway permanent waymen and milesmen are not entitled to labourers' cottages and allotments of land under the Labourers (Ireland) Acts; and, seeing that they are labourers will he consider their case in the proposed legislation for the better housing of the working classes in Ireland.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe suggestion in the Question will be considered. I am inclined to think, however, that the housing of men employed on a railway is more properly a matter for consideration by their employers, the Railway Company.
