HC Deb 16 July 1900 vol 86 c80
MR. FLAVIN

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give any information as to the approximate cost of the railway from Listowel, county Kerry, to Ballybunion, a seaside watering resort, which railway is built on the Lartigue single rail system.

MR. HANBURY (for Mr. RITCHIE)

The railway company state as follows— The Ballybunion Railway cost thirty-three thousand pounds, including purchase of land, rolling stock, and everything connected with it. This amount is shown in the annual Railway Returns laid before Parliament as the total authorised share and loan capital of the company, the whole of which has been paid up and raised.

MR. FLAVIN

Is this the only railway on the Lartigue system to be found in the United Kingdom?

MR. HANBURY

I cannot say.
