HC Deb 28 April 1898 vol 56 c1375
MR. J. DALY (Monaghan, S.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that a woman was killed at Dunmurry Station, Great Northern Railway, Ireland, on a level crossing last week; and, if there is no foot bridge at Dunmurry Station for the use of passengers to cross the line, will he use his influence to have such a bridge made?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE

It appears from the return of the accident that the deceased was not killed at a level crossing. She attempted to cross from the up to the down platform at Dunmurry Station, and was killed by a through train. She had no excuse for crossing the line as there is an underground passage from platform to platform, for the use of passengers.

MR. MACALEESE

Is the right honourable Gentleman aware that the underground passage is in such a condition that it is not fit for any person to go through?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE

I know nothing about the condition of the passage, but if there is one passengers should not be allowed to cross the line.
