§ MR. CULLINANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, having regard to the contemplated raising of rates by the Great Southern Railway Company, notwithstanding the promise given prior to the passing into law of the Amalgamation Bill, he will have public notice given of the date on which the inquiry will be held by the Railway Commissioners, and permit the parties interested to be represented thereat.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe Railway Company, in December, published a notice of their intention to apply to the Railway Commissioners for their consent to increased rates. The notice required any persons feeling aggrieved by the proposed increase to serve objections upon the Registrar to the Commissioners. Some 80 objections have been received. The Commissioners have fixed February 18th at the Four Courts, Dublin, to hear the application of the Railway Company, and also to hear the objections.
