§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that in order to facilitate the acquisition of land for the labourers in Granard Union, on whose behalf representations for the erection of 60 additional cottages were recently inquired into, the Rural District Council of Granard have agreed to drop all contentious sites so as to enable the Local Government Board to make absolute their Provisional Order; and will he, in order that the labourers may get their plots for the coming spring, direct the Local Government Board to send down an arbitrator forthwith to make the necessary awards so that possession of the plots may be obtained.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe Council was requested on the 4th instant to lodge with the Board the necessary Map and Schedules which are invariably required in such cases. When these have been furnished, an arbitrator will be appointed if they are found to be correct.
