§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNORasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether his attention has been called to the fact that, in spite of frequent remonstrance, 1777 the barracks at Naas are still drained into a stream used for drinking purposes; and, whether he will give immediate orders for the abatement of the nuisance?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONI am informed that it is not correct to say that the barracks at Naas are drained into a stream used for drinking purposes; but there is no doubt whatever that the sewerage of the town of Naas is in an unsatisfactory state, and the War Office are quite prepared to aid the town in carrying out an improved system of sewerage works.
§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNORasked whether, in the meantime, steps would be taken to abate this nuisance?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONsaid, he was afraid he could not speak on that matter. He was informed that the Local Sanitary Authority were aware that the War Office were prepared to give assistance to any satisfactory scheme for the improvement of the sewerage of the town and barracks.
