HC Deb 17 July 1899 vol 74 cc1011-2
MR. FIELD

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ire- land whether the Congested Districts Board, the Treasury, and the Cork and Bandon Railway Company guaranteed £3,500 each for the completion of the Baltimore Railway and Pier to deep water; whether the Cork and Bandon Railway Company have not fulfilled their agreement; whether the Congested Districts Board will take up the completion of this work; whether he is aware that in consequence of this want of connection the large amount previously expended cannot be utilised for the transit of fish; and whether he will recommend a grant for the purpose.

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

This question is a repetition of one put to me on Monday last by the hon. Member for Kilkenny on behalf of the hon. Member for the St. Patrick Division of Dublin, and I must refer to the answer then given by me.
