§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDYTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he will say whether the Enniskillen (No. 2) Rural District Council have yet presented their scheme to the Local Government Board for an inquiry under the Labourers (Ireland) Act, 1906; if not, will he say what is the cause of the delay; and 1714 will he have representation made to the proper authorities, with a view to securing that the Labourers Acts be put into operation without further delay in this district.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The district council in question have not yet presented their scheme under the Labourers Act. The delay is due to the council and their officers. The Local Government Board have already addressed the council on the subject, and have intimated that, owing to the neglect of the clerk to discharge the duties devolving upon him, he should be required to resign his office.
