HC Deb 23 June 1891 vol 354 cc1212-3
MR. KNOX

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what steps have been taken for the relief of distress in the County of Cavan; and whether, in view of the impression conveyed to the Grand Jury by the recent letter of Sir West Ridgway, and taking into account the lateness of the crops, the road in Glangevlin, which would have been made by the county but for that letter, will now be made as a relief work?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

A relief work has been for some weeks in operation in the Templeport electoral division of the Bawnboy Union. This work serves also the adjoining electoral division of Benbrack. No necessity has, so far, arisen for starting a work at Glangevlin.
