§ DR. TANNERI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the resolution forwarded to him by the Grand Jury of the County Clare, strongly recommending the making and maintenance of a light railway between Ennis and Scariff, has been received, and whether any steps will be taken to carry out the recommendation?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe resolution referred to has not been received. I may, however, say that, having regard to the large sum of money already provided by Parliament for the construction of railways in Ireland, I do not consider this a case in which. Government could ask for a special grant from Parliament.
