§ MR. SHEEHANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the scheme for providing additional half acres to the labourers' cottages in the Cork Rural District has been sanctioned by the Local Government Board; will he state the cause of delay in sanctioning this scheme after all prescribed forms had been complied with; what is the nature of the arrangement come to between the Local Government Board and the District Council; and in what manner have the grounds of disagreement been removed?
§ MR. WYNDHAMOn the 9th December I stated that the delay was occasioned by the existence of irregular tenancies. This objection has since been removed in several cases. The District Council has also undertaken to obviate grounds for similar delay in future. The Provisional Order is now about to be issued.
