MR. DONAL SULLIVAN (West-meath, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury what is the unappropriated residue of the £40,000 a year mentioned in "The Tramways (Ireland) Act, 1883"; and whether any, and, if so, how much, approximately of this residue will be applied, in addition to the £600,000 mentioned in "The Light Railways Act, 1889," towards carrying out the railways passed by Grand Juries under that Act?

*THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON,) Leeds, N.

Of the £40,000 mentioned in the Tramways (Ireland) Act, 1883, the amount unappropriated is, I am informed, £16,691, which will be available for appropriation in addition to the £600,000 provided under the Light Railways Act of last Session.
