HC Deb 26 November 1908 vol 197 cc691-2
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can say how many labourers' cottages have been erected in County Clare under all the Acts, and stating the number in each union.

MR. BIRRELL

For the number of cottages erected in each rural district up to 31st March last, amounting in all to 518, I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to a Question asked by him on 14th July last. The Local Government Board cannot say how many cottages have since been erected, but the additional number authorised was 714, distributed as follows:—Ballyvaughan, eighty-one; Corrofin, forty; Ennis, 125; Ennistymon, sixty-eight; Killadysert, forty-six; Kilrush, 125; Limerick (No. 2), fifty-six; Scariff, sixty-four; and Tulla, 109, making a grand total of 1,232 cottages built or authorised in Clare alone.
