§ COLONEL NOLANasked the Secretary to the Treasury, If he is aware that much damage was caused last summer at Meelick by the neglect of the authorities to raise the new sluices on the Shannon, and thus to avert the summer 433 floods; and, if he will give directions that the sluices be raised in time next summer?
§ MR. COURTNEYSir, on August 20th last I answered a Question to the same effect as this one. The slight delay which unfortunately occurred in raising the new sluices on the first occasion of their being brought into use will not recur. There have, I believe, been floods since last Summer, and no complaints have been received.
