§ MR. LUNDON (Limerick, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been drawn to the condition of the public road in the town of Hospital, County Limerick; and seeing that, since the late contract expired about four months ago, no repairs have been made to the road, and having regard to the condition of the road from Hospital to Knocklong, will he take steps to remedy the matter.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM, Dover)It is the duty of County and District Councils, as the case may be, to keep all public works in good condition and repair, and to take all steps necessary for that purpose. The Local Government Board has power to take action with a view to remedy any default on the part of the local authority in the matter, provided complaint is made to the Board under Section 32 of the Local Government Act, 1898.
