§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state the average amount of goods conveyed by road per week from Ken-mare to Sneem; and whether, seeing that goods were so carried to meet the temporary requirements of the Sneem traders when the steamer service was delayed through bad weather, or consisted of goods from Dublin and inland counties which could not avail of the Clyde Shipping Company's service, he will endeavour, in the circumstances, to procure more favourable rates from the railway company.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WALTER LONG,) Bristol, S.The Board have no definite information on which to reply to the first inquiry. They made the best terms possible with the railway company, and cannot now reopen the matter.
§ MR. BOLANDI shall take an early opportunity to draw attention to this matter.
