§ MR. KENDAL O'BRIENI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the application of James Kinnane which came before the inspector at the recent inquiry under the Labourers Acts for Thurles Rural District; and whether, seeing that there is no provision in the Labourers Acts requiring the assent of the occupier or owner to the application, the Board will now recommend the inclusion of this case in the Provisional Order.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThis application was excluded from the Provisional Order because the consent of the occupying owner had not been obtained. Had it been included without his consent, the case would doubtless have been rejected by the Privy Council on appeal. Under the circumstances the Board, in my opinion, acted properly.
