§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that an application was made by the Congested Districts Board for assistance in constructing a road from Cahircivane to Coppal in the Cahirciveen Union, county Kerry; can he state the reason of the delay in entertaining the application, in view of the fact that two years have elapsed since it was sent in; and whether the Board will now give the required assistance.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM.) DoverThe cost of the road was estimated by the applicants to amount to £1,582. There are many other works with prior claims on the available funds of the Board, and it is unable to entertain the application for assistance in the present case.
