HC Deb 05 June 1902 vol 108 c1553
MR. HAYDEN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, according to present arrangements between the Great Southern and Midland Great Western Railway Companies (Ireland) at their Clara Junction, it is impossible to convey a horse or other animal by passenger train from any station south of Maryboro to Mullingar or other stations served by the Clara branch, and that animals booked in such places have to remain in the trucks a whole night at Clara Station: and whether, in view of the inconvenience caused by this arrangement to the public, he will make representations to these companies, with the view of having the matter remedied.

MR. WYNDHAM

No specific representations have been made to the new Department in this matter. But if such are made in writing, the Department will cause inquiry to be made.
