§ MR. FITZWILLIAM DICKsaid, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, If there be any truth in the report of the continuance in the leakage of the Vartry Waterworks Embankment; and, in any case, whether it be the intention of the Government to appoint engineers to investigate and report upon the condition of the same?
LORD NAASsaid, in reply, that he had received no information with regard to the state of the Vartry Waterworks within the last four or five days. No request had been made to Government from any quarter to appoint engineers to investigate and report upon the condition of the same. The 1147 Government was perfectly satisfied with the Report that had been made by the very eminent engineers who had examined the works, and they had no reason to believe that any danger to the population living below the reservoir at present existed.
