HC Deb 25 March 1907 vol 171 cc1463-4
MR. HOGAN (Tipperary, N.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can say whether labourers residing in urban districts in Ireland are debarred from the privileges of the Labourers Acts although working in the adjoining rural districts where there is no housing accommodation available.

(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) A labourer who is usually employed in a rural district, but who, owing to want of accommodation in that district, is obliged to reside in an urban district, may be provided under the Labourers Acts with a cottage in the portion of the rural district in which he works.
