HC Deb 02 June 1896 vol 41 cc298-9
MR. J. P. FARRELL (Cavan, W.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade, whether any railway inspector has yet visited Longford to inquire into the dangerous state of the Royal Canal Harbour there to the public safety; and, if so, what report has been made to him on the subject?

MR. AKERS-DOUGLAS (for Mr. RITCHIE)

One of the Inspectors of Railways has visited the Canal Harbour at Longford and has made a Report to the Board of Trade, who are in communication with the Midland Great Western Railway Company on the subject. My right hon. Friend will be happy to furnish the hon. Member with a copy of the Report and correspondence in due course if he desires it.
