§ COLONEL NOLANasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If the sluices on the Shannon are now completed and in a fit state to prevent the neighbouring lands from being submerged by the summer floods?
§ MR. COURTNEYYes, Sir; the sluices in question have been completed; but some minor works still remain to be done, having been retarded by the unfavourable season. There is no reason to doubt that they will be in working order before the time of the summer floods.
