HC Deb 14 February 1884 vol 284 c880
MR. HARRINGTON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ire-land, Whether it is true that several of the public roads in the neighbourhood of Dingle, county Kerry, are at present allowed to go out of repair, owing to repeated differences between the contractors and the county surveyor; whether the Grand Jury have any power to apply a remedy to this state of things, or have refused; and, whether the people of the districts in question have memorialized the Lord Lieutenant upon the subject; and, if so, with what result?

MR. TREVELYAN

I am informed that, owing to default on the part of a number of road contractors, several roads in the neighbourhood of Dingle have fallen into a bad state of repair. A Memorial on the subject has been addressed to the Lord Lieutenant, and the Memorialists have been advised that they should bring the matter before the Grand Jury at the approaching Assizes next month in Tralee. The county surveyor will also bring the matter before the Grand Jury with a view to such action on their part as they may deem necessary.
