HC Deb 17 December 1906 vol 167 cc1005-6
MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can say how many labourers' cottages are proposed to be built and how many contracted for in the Tarbert electoral division (North Kerry) under the last scheme proposed by the Listowel Rural District Council.

(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The erection of seven labourers' cottages in the Tarbert electoral division was authorised by Order of the Local Government Board issued in 1905. The Board understand from the clerk of the rural district council that no contract has yet been made in respect of these seven cottages. The reason as regards six of the sites is that the land is being sold under the Land Purchase Acts, but has not yet been vested in the purchaser. The owner's title, therefore, is not legally established. The seventh case is to be included in the next contract.
