§ MR. J. P. FARRELL (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the defective passenger-traffic arrangements on the Mayo Branch of the Midland Great Western Railway Company of Ireland; whether he is aware that at present there are only two ordinary trains per 24 hours run each way on that part of the Midland system; and, is it within the power of the Board to compel the Company to run three trains, as on the main lines of their system; and, if so, will such power be enforced?
§ MR. AKERS DOUGLASThe Board of Trade have communicated with the Company, and are informed that it is not correct that only two ordinary trains run each way per 24 hours, as there are four down trains and the Limited Mail in addition—making five—and three up trains with the Limited Mail in addition making four. Any question of inadequate facilities is for the Railway Commissioners.
