§ MR. DALTONI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland the cause of the delay in commencing the work of the Stranorlar and Glenties Railway; and whether he can give any assurance that the work shall be commenced without delay, as there is great distress but no employment in the district?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOUREverything that it is in the power of the Government to do to expedite the construction of this line has been done. The delay has not been with them. But, as the hon. Member is aware, it is of the greatest importance to the district to make such arrangements with a working company as may relieve it of all possibility of charge after the line has been finished.
