MR. T. M. HEALYMight I ask the right hon. Gentleman the Secretary to the Treasury whether, having postponed the matter of the sale of the Waterford, Dungarvan, and Lismore Railway, he also intends to postpone the Report of the Board of Works Vote?
§ * MR. HANBURYI do not think there is any necessary connection between the two subjects. I should very much prefer to take the Vote at once, but I am constantly asked to postpone it in deference to the wishes of the localities interested and of hon. Members opposite. I should propose to take the Vote tonight unless there are objections, and then I should postpone it.
MR. T. M. HEALYWhat we want, is an opportunity to discuss this question. Is it so difficult a question as to require so long a time to settle it? Do I understand the right hon. Gentleman to say he had made up his mind in regard to the Railway?
§ * MR. HANBURYI think it will be an advantage to have it discussed if there is any difference of opinion upon it amongst Irish Members. I hope to take the Vote to-night.
