§ 11. Major O'NEILLasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether there is at present any statutory means whereby the occupants of cottages under the Labourers' (Ireland) Act can purchase their holdings by instalments?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe answer is in the negative.
§ Major O'NEILLDoes not the Small Dwellings Purchase Act apply, and would it not be possible to introduce some provision 575 in the forthcoming Land Purchase Act which might cover these labourers' cottages?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am informed there is at present no statutory authority. I will look into the last part of the question and see whether it is possible.
