§ MR. LUNDON (Limerick, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the application of Timothy O'Brien, of Ballyhobin, Ballybrood, County Limerick, for a cottage and plot of land under the Labourers Acts, on the farm of Roger Haynes, of Dunvullen, which was set aside at an ordinary meeting of the No. 1 Limerick District Council, was granted at the late inquiry, and his name returned in the inspector's report; and whether, seeing that the sanitary officer condemned this man's house as unsanitary, will he take steps to provide the cottage and plot.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM, Dover)The facts are as stated. The Board's inspector recommended a cottage and plot for O'Brien. A petition was lodged by Haynes against the proposal, which was then abandoned by the District Council. The cottage was consequently excluded from the Board's application for confirmation of the opposed portions of the Provisional Order. No further action can be taken at present, but it will be open to O'Brien to renew his application for a cottage on another site when the Council formulates a fresh scheme.
