HC Deb 28 July 1902 vol 111 cc1349-50
MR. MURNAGHAN (Tyrone, Mid.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that dissatisfaction exists at the delay in carrying out the proposal of the Tyrone County Council to widen a road in the townland of Magheralough, in the rural district of Tullick; and, seeing that an order for the acquisition of the land necessary was given by the Judge of Assize in July 1901, but the appointment of an arbitrator was made only last month, will he explain the cause of this delay.

(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) The order of the Judge of Assize was not sent to the Local Government Board until January last. The maps and schedules were not furnished until April. The schedules were then found to differ from those attached to the Judge's order, and, further correspondence becoming necessary, the Board was not in a position to appoint an arbitrator until the 5th June.
