HC Deb 28 June 1880 vol 253 c957
COLONEL COLTHURST

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, As to the truth of the statement made at the meeting of the Mac-room Board of Guardians on Saturday last, namely, that a relief road at Inchigeela had been stopped, owing to the insufficiency of the sum voted for it, thereby throwing over eighty persons out of employment; and, whether, if the statement be true, he will give directions for convening a special sessions without delay?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

I find, Sir, that the relief works in question stopped passed through two baronies, and one barony made a presentment and the other did not do so. That created difficulties which stopped the works; but since then a presentment has been made in the barony which did not at first pass one, and the works will now be resumed.
