§ MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Local Government Board have sanctioned in 1901 the erection of six labourers' cottages in the Tarbert electoral division of the Listowel Union; and, if so, will he explain why those cottages have not been built or the plots of land given to the labourers.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) The Local Government Board by Provisional Order dated 10th May, 1901, authorised the District Council to erect one cottage and to provide seven additional half-acre plots for cottages already built in this electoral division. The arbitrator's award fixing the compensation to be paid for the lands 'was completed in June last. The carrying into execution of the scheme sanctioned by the Board and of putting the labourers into possession of the plots is entirely a matter for the District Council.
