HC Deb 15 July 1908 vol 192 cc867-8
MR. C. MACVEIGH (Donegal, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the attention of the Local Government Board has been called to the case of William O'Donnell, for whom the council selected a site for a labourer's cottage on the farm of Mrs. Ramsey, Ballyrane, and which was granted to him at the inquiry held at Letterkenny, East Donegal, in 1907; whether he is aware that the cottage has not been built for him; and if he can state why this has not been done.

MR. BIRRELL

The hon. Member appears to have been misinformed. The case of William O'Donnell was not included by the rural district council in the scheme for labourers' cottages which was inquired into by the inspector. If O'Donnell wishes to apply for a cottage he should make the necessary representation to the council.
