§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY (Limerick, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on the 7th July a case of poultry weighing about 100 lbs. was sent from Rathkeale Co - operative Society, Limited, to Glasgow, for which the railway company charged 13s.; and, considering that the charge amounted to almost half the price of the contents of the case, he will take steps to have a special rate made for the carriage of such articles with a view to encouraging poultry rearing in Ireland.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe Department has no information on the subject. But if the facts are represented by the society to the Department, the matter will be investigated.
