§ MR. EDWARD BARRY (Cork County, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Con Sullvan of Kilnasha, near Skibbereen, on the Very Rev. Dean Reeve's estate, has been evicted, and is now lodging with the occupant of a labourer's cottage, he having been denied the right of free sale or a plot of ground on which to erect a house; and whether he is aware that with his family this man is now dependent for support on outdoor relief, granted him by the guardians of the Skibbereen Union, and will he direct the Local Government Board to put the Labourers Acts in force in this district in this regard.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI have no information on the first part of the Question. The steps necessary to be taken with a view to the erection of labourers' cottages are well known. The Skibbereen Rural District Council requires no pressure from the Local Government Board in bringing the Labourers Acts into operation, seeing that 226 cottages have already been built in the district.
