§ MR. SHEEHAN (Cork County, Mid.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has given any consideration to the claims of small farmers of £4 valuation and under for better housing accommodation; has he caused any inquiries to be instituted into the manner in which they are at present housed; and does he propose to do anything in the Labourers (Ireland) Bill to afford means and opportunities to this class to provide themselves with better dwellings.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) DoverIt is not proposed in the Labourers Bill to charge the rates, or to advance money from public funds, for the benefit of small farmers.
