HC Deb 01 May 1890 vol 343 c1835
MR. PATRICK JOSEPH O'BRIEN (Tipperary, N.)

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether, in view of the large sums of money already expended in the Shannon Drainage Works, which have produced no visible beneficial result, and in consideration of the widespread dissatisfaction and anxiety that prevails in the district amongst all classes of the ratepayers, as evidenced by such resolutions as that passed by the Grand Jury at the last Nenagh Assizes on the subject, he will consent to a Parliamentary inquiry into the whole project in relation to the fishery interests involved?

MR. MADDEN

I must ask the hon. Member to postpone this and the two other questions upon the same subject which appears in his name.
