HC Deb 06 June 1905 vol 147 cc862-3
MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Congested Districts Board will undertake the construction of a road into the townland of Dreenavurrig from the public road leading from Sneem to Waterville, in view of the fact that the people of this town-land, where upwards of twenty families reside, have to bring their cattle and sheep and cars and donkeys by boat in order to reach a public road.

MR. WALTER LONG

The Board have not received any application for assistance in this matter. Their funds for public works have been allotted for the current year.

MR. BOLAND

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this road was inspected two or three years ago?

MR. WALTER LONG

Very likely. We have an enormous number of applications, but only a very small proportion can possibly be granted.
