HC Deb 01 March 1901 vol 90 c204
MR. DALY (Monaghan, S.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that a man was killed recently at Clones railway station, county Monaghan, owing to the state of the island platform there, and whether he can state what course he intends to take to get this island platform improved, and thereby avert further loss of life.

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

I have made inquiry as to this case, and am informed that the unfortunate man's death did not occur owing to the state of the island platform. The Board are, however, in communication with the railway company as to the platform and the level-crossing at this station.

MR. DALY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that his predecessor promised to look into this matter, and that nothing has since been done?

*MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!
