§ MR. KENDAL O'BRIENI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the application of James Kinnane for the erection of a dwelling-house, came before the inspector of the Local Government Board at the recent inquiry under the Labourers' Acts held for Thurles Rural District; that the inspector reported that the applicant was a tailor, and therefore not entitled to have the house erected for him; is he aware that Kinnane gave evidence at the inquiry that he had given up working as a tailor, and had been working as an agricultural labourer for years past; has the Local Government Board received a memorial from a number of ratepapers, stating that this man has regularly worked at agricultural labour for the past twelve years; and will the Local Government Board recommend the inclusion of the House for this applicant in the scheme.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe Local Government Board informed the District Council it was prepared to include the application of Kinnane in the Provisional Order, provided the consent of the occupying owner of the site was obtained. This consent was not forthcoming, and the case cannot now be 200 included in the Order, which has been made absolute. The Council may, however, include the application in its next scheme, and if there be no objections on the ground of evidence or site, it will be sanctioned.
