§ MR. JOHN O'CONNOR (Kerry, S.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he has received a Copy of a Resolution adopted at a public meeting of the inhabitants of Kenmare, held on the 22nd March, 1624 approving of the suggestion that the materials for the projected Suakim and Berber Railway, now lying unused at Woolwich, should be applied to the construction of a Railway from Headford to Kenmare, an Act for which passed in 1884; and, whether the Irish Government are disposed to favourably consider a proposal for that purpose?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. JOHN MORLEY) (Newcastle-on-Tyne)Yes, Sir; I have received a copy of the Resolution referred to. The materials in question are in no way at the disposal of the Irish Government. I believe the Lord Lieutenant has communicated the wish expressed by the meeting to the Secretary of State for War, in whose hands the matter lies.
