§ MR. FIELDTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a regulation exists preventing vans or carts passing through Phœnix Park; and whether, in view of the inconvenience of this regulation to traders and others, he will arrange I to allow the roads in Phœnix Park to be utilised by traders and farmers.
(Answered by Mr. Victor Cavendish.) The regulation exists, as stated in the hon. Member's Question, the object being to prevent the use of the park roads as thoroughfares. Exceptions are made in certain classes of cases where the rule would produce hardship. The differences in the distances by the park roads and by the county roads are, in most instances, very slight.
