HC Deb 17 May 1905 vol 146 cc623-4
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, with a view to the formation of a drainage board for the district flooded by the River Riffey, he will direct the Secretary of the Board of Works at Dublin to forward the necessary documents for the signature of the inhabitants to Mr. Thomas Cuningham, Cam, Edgeworthstown.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (Mr. VICTOR CAVENDISH, Derbyshire, W.)

I would refer the hon. Member to the replies I gave him on this subject on, February 28th† and April 13th‡. The persons desiring to form a drainage district should apply directly to the Board of Works.

MR. J. P. FARRELL

But the local people have taken all the steps they possibly can to get a drainage board set up. Will the hon. Gentleman assist them?

MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH

I will inquire.
