§ MR. CAREW () Meath, S.I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the land purchase operations of the Congested Districts Board are being impeded by want of funds for improvement works; and if so, what steps will be taken to relieve the difficulty.
§ MR. WYNDHAMA sum of £10,000 was recently added to the amount voted in the present year as a special grant-in-aid of the expenses of the Congested Districts Board. With the funds now available it is anticipated that the execution of necessary improvement works will not he delayed on estates purchased with a view to resale to tenants.
