§ MR. JOHN O'CONNORI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can now state what steps, if any, he has taken towards appointing Commissioners to inquire into the subject of arterial drainage in Ireland; and, if so what are their names and qualifications and the terms of their reference.
§ MR. WALTER LONGI have no further statement to make in this matter at present.
§ MR. JOHN O'CONNORCan the right hon. Gentleman give us any good reason for not coming to the opinion that he is humbugging the House and the country?
§ MR. WALTER LONGI can give an admirable Answer to that extraordinary Question. I shall shortly announce the names of the Commissioners and the terms of reference.
