HC Deb 22 January 1897 vol 45 c282
MR. T. D. SULLIVAN (Donegal, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the distress prevailing in many districts of Western Donegal, he will say when the commencement of the works of the promised light railways in that part of the country may be expected; and, whether any other public works, such as the improvement of piers and landing places on the coast, are likely to be speedily undertaken by the Government?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND

Inquiry is being made as to the alleged prevalence of distress in many districts of West Donegal, and I would ask the hon. Member to postpone the question until Monday, when I hope to be able to reply to all his inquiries.
