§ The works which are at present being undertaken consist of road construction and repairs. The wages paid to labourers are at the rate of six shillings a week. The Local Government Board have been advised that the recipients of exceptional relief under Section 13 of the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898, are not thereby disfranchised, but in order to remove any doubt on the subject provision will be made in the Seed and Distress Bill exempting such recipients from any electoral disability.
