§ Mr. WILLIAM REDMONDasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland how many labourers' cottages have been erected in county Clare, and how many are in course of construction?
§ The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)Up to 31st March last 518 cottages had been erected in county Clare, but the Local Government Board have no information as to the number since completed or the number at present in course of erection. The hon. Member may be glad to know that 1,304 cottages in all have been authorised under the Labourers Acts in the county.
§ Mr. LYNCHMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether a list of such cottages will be available for each district, giving certain indications as to the localities?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThat has never yet been done.
§ Mr. MOOREIs it not a fact that in the annual Report of the Local Government Board, published every year, they are shown union by union?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThat is so. There is no doubt whatever where the cottages are.
