HC Deb 19 July 1883 vol 281 c1903
COLONEL NOLAN

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, If the sluices in the Shannon are now in a fit state to deal with the summer floods?

MR. COURTNEY

I have every reason to believe that the Shannon sluices are now ready for the floods whenever they may come; but the hon. and gallant Member has not given sufficient Notice to enable me to obtain from Dublin an explicit assurance to this effect.
