§ Mr. LYNCHasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state the reason why the Local Government Board are not enforcing their sealed order of 1904, which directed the sanitary authorities to provide a sewerage system for Kilkee, West Clare, and stated that the work should be commenced within nine months from the date of the sealed order.
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe sealed order referred to directed the council to begin to set about the work within nine months of the date of the order. The council formulated a scheme, and applied for. a loan for the purpose, but the Local Government Board were obliged to return it for amendment. The Board have been in constant correspondence with the council, with a view to prevent delay, and it is hoped that a suitable scheme will shortly be carried out.
