HC Deb 28 March 1904 vol 132 c851
MR. WILLIAM ABRAHAM (Cork County, N.E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, having regard to the fact that the Great Southern and Western Railway Company have not fulfilled their obligation to construct the direct railway between Cork and Fermoy, whether he would urge the promoters of the Iveagh-Pirrie motor car system to establish a service between Cork and Fermoy, via White's Cross, Glenville, and Rathcormac, as the interests of the agriculturists in these districts are injuriously affected by the abandonment of the railway project.

MR. WYNDHAM

The matter is entirely one for the promoters of this scheme of motor traction, but I will communicate the hon. Member's suggestion to them. As I have previously stated, the schemes already taken up are experimental and no fresh schemes will be established until the former have been tested by experience and practical working.
