§ MR. SHEEHAN (Cork Co., Mid)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that an application by a labourer named William Creedon for a cottage and plot of land on the farm of Jeremiah Creedon, Parthanknuck, in the Ullanes electoral division of the Macroom Union, was sanctioned at a sworn inquiry held in April, 1901, and the site marked out and approved by the Engineering Inspector of the Local Government Board; I and will he explain why the house was subsequently rejected although the applicant's present abode was condemned as unfit for habitation.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe facts are not accurately stated in the first part of the Question. The Inspector disapproved of the site selected for the cottage, and the District Council was so informed. The case cannot now be re-opened, the Provisional Order having been made absolute; but it will be open to the Council to renew the application, in respect of another site, when proposing a fresh scheme.
