§ MR. WILLIAM M'KILLOP (Sligo, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that several labourers' cottages were applied for in the Dromore West Union, county Sligo, and that the sites were approved and the plans perfected; and, if so, whether he will explain the cause of delay in the erection of these cottages.
§ MR. ATKINSONThe District Council in January last made an improvement scheme for the erection of a number of cottages, but the scheme has not yet been forwarded to the Local Government Board for approval. The District Council are, apparently, solely in default.
