§ Mr. FLAVINasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that a public inquiry was held at Listowel in connection with the building of artisans' dwellings; whether the Local Government Board have approved of the scheme by the Listowel Urban Council; and whether he can say why such a long delay has occurred in connection with the advancement of the money to carry out the scheme of artisans' dwellings, which are very badly wanted in the town?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Local Government Board in October last sanctioned an application being made for a loan in this case. I understand that the matter is at present under consideration by the Treasury.
