§ MR. SHEEHANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that at the recent inquiry under the Labourers Acts in the Cork Rural District an application was considered from Thomas Cundon for an additional half-acre on the farm held by the representatives of Honoria Donovan, in the electoral division of Greenfort; and seeing that no statutory disqualification was urged against the application, will he state on what grounds it was rejected by the Local Government Board.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe application of Cundon was opposed by the occupier on the ground that he never worked for him, and that he was constantly employed elsewhere. The Inspector did not see his way, therefore, to recommend the application, and the District Council has not questioned his decision.
§ MR. SHEEHANAnd does the fact that the man never worked for the occupier disqualify him under the Act?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI am not prepared to answer a general Question like that without notice.
