The number of valid appeals under Section 18 of the Labourers Act, 1936, which were received in my Department from County Offaly since 1st January, 1962, is 14. Nine of these have been inspected and enquiries are proceeding in respect of the balance of 5 cases. In two of the 9 cases inspected, the tenants have been notified of the works which I have determined are necessary to put the cottages into good repair and sanitary condition for vesting purposes.
