§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare,, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, in regard to the proposed Clonakilty and Rosscarbery Railway, at the Cork Assizes in 1891, the County Grand Jury passed the sum of £30,000 on the promise of the late Government that, if the Grand Jury passed £30,000, the Government would give the additional grant of £20,000 to finish and complete the line, and that the Grand Jury also passed a resolution calling on the Government to give the additional grant without delay; and whether the present Government will endeavour to carry out the promises of the late Administration in this matter?
§ SIR J. T. HIBBERTI do not find that any such promise of a grant was made by the late Government, and as the 423 line was not scheduled under the Light Railways Act of 1889, no grant could be made.
