§ SIR T. ESMONDE (Kerry, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he will state what answer has been received from the Irish Board of Works to the communications he has addressed to them upon the subject of the Tralee and Dingle Railway; and whether the Board of Works have as yet appointed anyone to conduct the promised inquiry; if so, whether he can give the name of the gentleman selected to conduct the inquiry, and his qualifications, and state when the investigation will take place?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. T. HIBBERT,) OldhamThe Board of Works have made a most careful and valuable Report on the subject of the Tralee and Dingle Railway, and, on the Board's recommendation, the Treasury have authorised the appointment of Mr. James Barton, M. I. C. E., to conduct the inquiry, and have asked that it may be undertaken with as little delay as possible.
