HC Deb 23 July 1868 vol 193 cc1669-70
MR. W. ORMSBY GORE

said, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, What steps have been taken to carry out the recommendation of the Committee on the Shannon River to remove the Eel weir at Roosky?

MR. SCLATER-BOOTH

said, in reply, that until the present lease had expired it would be impossible to remove the weir. The Shannon Commissioners were, unfortunately, in receipt of a very small income, and there would be some difficulty in carrying out the arrangement of the Committee. But he would take care that the matter was not lost sight of.
