Vol. 26 No. 7

CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - PURCHASE OF LABOURERS' COTTAGES.

asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether he intends introducing within the near future proposals for legislation to enable cottier tenants and bona fide agricultural labourers to purchase the labourers' cottages which they at present occupy.

Mr. HOGAN

In November last local authorities administering the Labourers (Ireland) Acts were communicated with for the purpose of ascertaining their views and those of the tenants as to the propriety of selling the cottages to the latter. To date only four boards of health have submitted definite proposals to sell. Until the considered views of the remaining local authorities and tenants concerned are available it is not proposed to take any action.
