§ MR. FOLEY (Galway, Connemara)I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether he has received a letter from the Very Rev. P. Lynskey, of Clifden, Galway, complaining of the destitute condition of the poor people; and whether he will take immediate steps, by providing relief works or otherwise, to prevent these people being compelled to leave their homes and enter the workhouse?
§ MR. MADDENA letter has been received complaining of the insufficiency of the labour given on the Clifden line, and drawing attention to the distressed condition of Sillerna and other districts. Relief works are in progress at several points in the localities mentioned. But, with regard to Sillerna, the works which were started there had to be suspended in consequence of opposition shown by the people.
