§ MR. MURNAGHAN (Tyrone, Mid)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the report of a public meeting recently held at Mountjoy, county Tyrone, to protest against the action of the Great Northern Railway Company of Ireland in refusing to reopen the railway station at that place, and has he received from the Omagh Rural District Council a resolution on the subject; is he aware that the distance between the adjoining stations of Omagh and Newtown-Stewart is about ten miles, and that the plans of the engineer provided for a station at Mountjoy, and were sanctioned on that understanding; and will he bring the matter before the directors with a view to meet the wishes of the people and the needs of the district.
§ MR. RITCHIEThe Board of Trade have communicated again with the company, and as a result I regret to say that I cannot add anything to my reply to the hon. Member's question of February 16th✶
