HC Deb 25 May 1909 vol 5 c1027
Mr. GINNELL

asked how many dwelling houses now occupied in Mullingar had been condemned by the sanitary officer as unfit for human habitation, and how many as being insanitary?

Mr. CHERRY

The Local Government Board have ascertained that 20 houses in the Mullingar North and South Urban Electoral Divisions have been certified as unfit for human habitation in connection with the last two schemes promoted under the Labourers Acts by the Mullingar Rural District Council. Seventy-nine cottages have been recently built, or are building, and a further 21 are projected in and around the town. There are still about 30 insanitary houses in the township.
