§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will consider the request of the Kiladysert District Council that the Kiladysert Creek should be improved and rendered navigable; and whether, as this matter has been pressed on the attention of the Government many times, he will see that something practical is now done to meet the difficulty complained of.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) DoverThe Department, to which I undertook to refer this proposal, will consider the question of making a contribution towards the cost of the works of improvement if the county council will instruct the county surveyor to prepare rough plans and estimates.
