§ MR. LUNDON (Limerick, E.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the lack of employment for agricultural labourers in County Limerick, he will see, now that the Limerick County Council have done their part by direct labour, that the Local Government Board put the scheme in regard to the repairs and maintenance of the public roads into operation as soon as possible.
1114 (Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) One Rural District Council has appealed against the scheme proposed by the County Council. A local inquiry must in consequence be held before the Local Government Board can sanction the scheme or any modification of it. When the views of the remaining District Councils have been received the inquiry will be arranged for, and no unnecessary delay will be allowed to elapse before the Board gives its decision.
