§ Mr. LUNDONasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland why the Local Government Board have refused to sanction the plan of cottages submitted to them by the Mitchelstown (No. 2) District Council; and, in view of the fact that the labourers as well as the ratepayers are at one as regards the suitability of the plan submitted by the district council, will steps be taken to have the plans submitted approved of, and thus allow the building of the cottages to go on?
§ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND (Mr. Cherry)The plans submitted to the Local Government Board by the Mitchelstown (No. 2) Rural District Council did not comply with the Board's general standard of requirements cither as to cubic content or the height of the rooms in the cottages. On the 22nd ultimo the rural district council forwarded a new plan to the Board, which they are prepared to approve of subject to some slight amendments which they require the council to carry out.
