Mr. Hogan
The Deputy was informed on 27th May that the Clare Board of Health and Public Assistance had requested their engineers to furnish specifications and estimates for repairs to all cottages in their districts. I am not aware of the total amount estimated by the board as necessary to put the cottages into proper habitable repair. I am continually reminding the board of their duty to keep the cottages in repair.
