§ 24. Mr. ARCHDALEasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland how many cottages have yet been built or land bought to build them in County Fermanagh for ex-service men.
§ Sir H. GREENWOODIn four of the five rural districts in County Fermanagh schemes which include provision for 88 cottages and plots have been made, but no steps can be taken to enter on the lands proposed to be acquired or to build cottages thereon until the statutory period for lodging objections to the schemes, namely, a minimum period of 21 days, has expired. If objections are lodged a formal inquiry must be held. No avoidable delay will be allowed to take place, but the carrying out of the statutory preliminaries takes considerable time.
