§ 74. Mr. CREANasked the Under-Secretary for War whether the military authorities in Cork Harbour have compulsorily closed the houses at Crosshaven and the surrounding watering-places usually occupied by visitors during the summer months; and whether, in view of the fact that the owners of these cottages are mostly poor people mainly depending on the rent received from these holdings for a living, compensation will be given to them for the losses sustained?
Mr. BAKERI am not aware of the facts stated in the question, but if and when they are reported to the War Office they will be given consideration.
