§ MR. O'SHEE (Waterford, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will cause inquiries to be made of all the clerks of rural district councils in whose districts additional half-acres have been already provided under the Labourers Acts, so as to obtain from each rural district an estimate of the average cost of providing an additional half acre, specifying price of land, cost of fencing, legal expenses, and general expenses.
§ MR. WYNDHAMAn effort will be made to procure this information. But it will, understand, be very troublesome to collect and will impose much additional labour upon clerks of rural district councils.
