§ MR. PATRICK WHITE (Meath, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, at the recent inquiry into the scheme promoted 182 by the Kells Rural District Council for the erection of labourers cottages, the application of William Dooley, Fordstown, for a cottage and plot was rejected; and, if so, for what reason.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) This application was rejected by the inspector on the ground that the applicant did not appear to be an agricultural labourer within the meaning of the Labourers Acts.
