HC Deb 23 May 1898 vol 58 c393
MR. TULLY (Leitrim, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the attention of the Board of Works in Ireland has been directed to the failure of the Shannon Development Company to provide a suitable pier at Dromod, in South Leitrim, for landing and talking off passengers, Dromod being the terminus of the Cavan and Leitrim Railway and Midland Great Western Railway; and whether, in view of the baronial guarantee from Leitrim to this Company, the Board of Works will compel them to carry out their undertaking to have a suitable pier at Dromod.?

MR. HANBURY

It is found that the connection between the Shannon steamer service and the Cavan and Leitrim Railway can be more conveniently formed by landing the passengers at Rooskey (about two miles below Dromod) than by providing an improved pier at Dromod. A coach service will be established between Rooskey and Dromod stations.
