Captain O'NEILLasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that Robert Smyth was promised a new single cottage upon an agreed site in the townland of Ballylummin, near Ahoghill, county Antrim; whether he is now offered one of a pair of cottages on a different site that is inconvenient and far from his work; and whether steps will be taken to carry out the original proposal?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThis case appears to be included in the improvement scheme of the Ballymena Rural District Council, into which an inquiry has only just been held. The inspector of the Local Government Board bas not yet made his Order in respect of the scheme, and if the applicant mentioned in the question objects to any proposed modification of the scheme in so far as it may concern him, he should make his objection known to the council who could consider it before the matter is finally dealt with by the inspector.
