Rural District Councils
Rural District Councils were established by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898. They were to be responsible for housing, rural sanitation, and roads and public works. The provision of labourers' dwellings was one of their main functions. They were abolished under the Local Government Act 1925 and functions were transferred to the County Councils and to the Boards of Public Health. Records held include minute books and labourers' cottage rentals.
