DR. KENNYI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he has seen a copy of a resolution, adopted at an influential meeting held on the 14th instant, of the inhabitants of Skibbereen and surrounding district, South Cork, expressive of the strong dissatisfaction caused by the insufficiency of the railway service between Cork and the Skibbereen district, and complaining of the inconvenience to the public arising from the restrictions as to the hours during which the trains are run; and whether, inasmuch as at least one of the Railway Companies concerned is a guaranteed railway, he will cause communications to be addressed to the Railway Companies concerned, with a view to inducing them to remove or lessen the grievances complained of?
§ MR. MUNDELLAI have seen the resolution to which the hon. Member refers. If the inhabitants of Skibbereen and district will give the Board of Trade 1662 some specific statement of the increased facilities they require, I shall be happy to use my good offices with the company on their behalf.
