§ MR. DAWSONasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Whether the Barrow Drainage Works are likely to be carried out; and, if so, whether care shall be taken that no injury shall arise to the borough of Carlow, or the lands in its vicinity?
§ MR. COURTNEYSurveys of the Barrow are now being made; but it is premature to talk of a drainage scheme having been conceived, and still more to mention a time for beginning it. I understand that a proper system of arterial drainage is expected to improve the sanitary condition of the towns in the Barrow Valley, in which Carlow would, no doubt, participate. Care would certainly be taken to do no injury to any town or its neighbouring lands.
