HC Deb 23 June 1896 vol 41 c1689
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, (1) whether he can state when the Light Railways (Ireland) Bill will be introduced; and (2) whether County Cavan will be scheduled under the Bill for the building of extension lines from Arignagh to Dowra, Bawnboy Road to Florencecourt, and a new line from Oldcastle through Bally-jamesduff to Kilnaleck?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I have already stated that I hope to introduce Irish Light Railways Bill as soon as the Bill dealing with Light Railways in England has passed the Report Stage. As to the second paragraph, I can make no announcement respecting the provisions of the Bill pending its introdection.
