§ MR. LEAHY (Kildare, S.)asked the Secretary to the Board of Trade, Whether it is a fact that the Great Southern and Western Railway Company, at Moorhill and Canny Court on the Baltinglass Extension Line, acquired possession of a plot of land from the tenants of the locality for the purpose of erecting a flag station at that point, which is very much needed, where six roads converge each leading to populous districts; whether the Railway Company are now offering this ground so received for that special purpose for sale, and whether, if the land is sold, it will be impossible to erect a station there, thereby inflicting a continuation of the present inconvenience to over 300 residents who have memorialized against the sale of this land; and, whether the Board of Trade will take steps to prevent this alleged injustice being carried out, or cause the sale of this land to be stayed until the inhabitants have an opportunity of opposing this action on the part of the Great Southern and Western Railway Company?
§ THE SECRETARY (Baron HENRY DE WORMS) (Liverpool, East Toxteth)The Board of Trade are informed by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company, that it is not a fact that they had any intention of erecting a station at Moorhill and Canny Court, on the Baltinglass Line, and they did not acquire any land for such a purpose.
