§ MR. O'DOWD (Sligo, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any portion of the Development Grant Fund will be allocated for river drainage purposes in Ireland; and, if so, whether a small grant from that fund will be given for the drainage of the Owenmore.
§ MR. WYNDHAMProvision is made in the Development Grant Estimate for a charge in respect of the drainage of the Bann, the reasons for which I have explained. I am not prepared to impose on the Estimate any additional charge for the purposes of arterial drainage.
§ MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)Can the right hon. Gentleman give us any information as to the Estimate.
§ MR. WYNDHAMIt is being prepared.
