HC Deb 26 January 1891 vol 349 cc1017-8
DR. TANNER

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether any steps will be taken to carry out the pro- posed line of light railway between Macroom and Ballyvourney; and whether, owing to the failure of the potato crop and lack of labour in the district in question, active steps will soon be taken to promote this public work?

MR. MADDEN

I have made inquiry, but I cannot find that any light railway has been proposed between the places mentioned by the hon. Member in the first paragraph of the question.

DR. TANNER

If a proposal is made to the Government, will any active steps be taken in the matter?

MR. MADDEN

I am sure that every attention will be paid to the matter.
