§ MR. MCFADDEN (Donegal, E.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Michael Fisher, of Raphoe, county Donegal, applied to the Strabane No. 2 Rural District Council over six years ago to have a labourer's cottage erected for him under the Labourers Acts, and that the dwelling-house he then resided in was condemned as unfit or human habitation by Mr. Tully, Local Government Board inspector; and whether the Local Government Board will make inquiry as to what is the cause of delay on the part of the district council in providing the man with a cottage.
(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) As I explained in my reply to the hon. Member's Question of the 24th March †, the delay in this matter is not due to the Local Government Board. The Board are now addressing the district council on the subject.
