HC Deb 27 March 1884 vol 286 cc868-9
COLONEL NOLAN

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, If the Board of Works has received any Report as to the efficiency of the Shannon sluices at Killaloe; and, if any complaints have been received as to the upper water being caught by the sluices when raised?

MR. COURTNEY

Weekly Reports are received from all the Shannon sluices; and I am glad to say that their action throughout the winter has been attended with good results. The only complaints received have been to the effect that Hoods have not been put a stop to altogether; but a total cessation of flooding could never be attained, and was never expected.
