BG/43/AL
Bantry Rural Sanitary Authority (Labourers’ Acts) Minute Books Scope and Content: Volumes recording minutes of proceedings of the board of guardians acting as the rural sanitary authority under the Labourers (Ireland) Acts. Meetings were generally held weekly, although frequently no business was transacted. Minutes are signed by the chairman. The principal subject is schemes for erecting labourers’ cottages, and related actions. These include receiving representations for cottages, appointing committees and officers (eg, solicitor, engineer, clerk of works), selecting sites, adopting schemes, processing tenders, receiving loans from the Commissioners of Public Works, legal processes and disputes, and communicating with the LGB on all aspects of each scheme. The minutes recorded are generally quite brief. Reference is made in BG/43/AL/3 to the appointment of a solicitor under the acts in March 1886, but the first scheme was not adopted until 1890. The minutes present do not refer to letting to tenants, which may not have occurred until a later period. Under the Local Government (Irela nd) Act, 1898, labourers’ cottages became the responsibility of Bantry Rural District Council.
