HC Deb 27 May 1895 vol 34 c359
MR. T. D. SULLIVAN (Donegal, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the fact that the construction of the railway from Stranorlar to Glenties, in the county of Donegal, is not yet completed; that the period originally fixed for such completion has been several times extended; and that the period given by the latest extension is now overpast, can he state at what time the line is likely to be opened for the use of the public?

MR. JOHN MORLEY

The line has been inspected and passed by the Board of Trade, and the Donegal Company proposes to open it for traffic on Monday next.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)

asked whether there were not certain penalties for every day the line was kept shut after the time specified for its opening, and whether these penalties would be exacted?

MR. JOHN MORLEY

That is a matter that belongs to the Treasury and not to my Department.
