HC Deb 11 March 1903 vol 119 c384
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will inquire into the delay by the Local Government Board in sanctioning the erection of labourers' cottages in the Ennis district.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) Dover

The delay has been caused by the failure of the District Council to obtain and forward promptly the written consents of owners and occupiers concerned where there has been a change in selected sites, also to certain discrepancies between the scheme and maps not explained by the Council and its, engineer.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

Was this the sole cause of the delay? I am informed it was not.

MR. WYNDHAM

I have heard no other cause suggested.
