Proposals to erect eight cottages at Tullow were submitted on 23rd November last. The layout was not considered satisfactory and on 9th March last an inspector of my Department conveyed to the county engineer suggestions for an improved layout based on alternative designs, the layout to be adopted depending on the future development of the adjoining areas. A revised layout has not since been received and the inspector was requested some time ago to raise the matter again with the county engineer. He proposes to do so this week. There are no other cottage schemes in the county health district awaiting sanction.
