HC Deb 27 October 1902 vol 113 cc821-2
MR. SHEEHAN (Cork Co., Mid)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state the grounds on which the Local Government Board refuses to sanction the present scheme of cottages promoted by the Cork Rural District Council, and the matters which require arrangement between the Local Government Board and the District Council.

MR. WYNDHAM

It was proved that occupants of sixteen cottages were not agricultural labourers. The issue of the Provisional Order is deferred until the District Council has considered these cases, and to what extent the scheme should be modified accordingly.
