§ MR. JOHN O'CONNOR (Tipperary, S.)asked the Secretary of State for War, If he has received a Copy of a Resolution adopted at a public meeting of the inhabitants of Kenmare, held on the 22nd March, approving of the suggestion that the materials for the projected Suakin and Berber Railway, now lying unused at Woolwich, to be applied to the construction of a Railway from Headford to Kenmare, an Act for 1771 which passed in 1884; and, whether he is disposed to favourably consider a proposal for that purpose?
§ THE SURVEYOR GENERAL OF ORDNANCE (Mr. WOODALL) (Hanley)(who replied): The permanent way material originally intended for the construction of the Suakin-Berber Railway will be applied in due course to certain public uses already approved; and, although a portion thereof might be sold on equitable terms for the purpose suggested, or for any other similar object, it is not improbable that the Department might have to repurchase hereafter.
