§ MR. W. REDMOND (Fermanagh, N.)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether, in view of the great importance of completing the Lough Erne Drainage Works, the Government will favourably receive any application that may be made for the advance of a further sum of money necessary to finish the undertaking?
§ THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)I am informed that the application for an additional loan is at present before the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland, and until I receive their Report I cannot express an opinion upon the question.
§ MR. W. REDMONDIn consequence of the answer of the hon. Gentleman, I wish to give Notice that I shall support the Bill for granting additional time and money for the completion of the Lough Erne drainage works, which I consider most necessary and calculated to do much good.
