§ MR. KENNYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, If he has received a Copy of Resolutions adopted at a meeting of tenant farmers principally concerned in the Scariff drainage scheme, 298 held at the Courthouse, Feakle, county Clare, on 18th July; if the Resolutions in question set forth the heavy loss in farm produce annually sustained by the local farmers through floods, condemn the inaction of the Board constituted under the Act, who for three years have done nothing to carry its provisions into effect, and call upon the Treasury to place the undertaking in the hands of a competent authority, with a view to its execution, and, also, if an extension of time under the Act is not asked for; and, if, having regard to the great local importance of the scheme and the benefits if proposes to confer upon the people of great portions of six parishes, the Treasury will accept the recommendations of the local occupiers, and see that effect is given to their wishes upon this subject?
§ MR. COURTNEYSir, I received yesterday a document to the effect stated in the Question; and it will be considered at the Treasury, and answered in due course. In other respects I must refer The hon. Member to an answer I gave to his Question on the same subject three weeks ago.
