HC Deb 22 February 1904 vol 130 c568
MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether it is proposed during the present session to take any steps to give effect to the Unionist policy propounded in 1887 in regard to the arterial drainage of Ireland, and if anything will be done by Estimate or otherwise to provide funds for dealing with the flooding of the River Bann.

MR. WYNDHAM

I am not in a position to take up the general question of arterial drainage. I do intend to submit certain proposals in respect of the River Bann.

MR. DELANY

Did not the Unionst policy refer to the Barrow and not to the Bann.

MR. T. W. RUSSELL

It referred to the whole country.
