§ MR. WALTER LONGTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is now able to make an announcement respecting the intentions of the Government as to the construction of a line of railway between Mullaranny and Belmullet?
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) I am not at present in a position to make any statement on this subject which, owing to the number of alternative schemes and the difficulty of finding funds, is one of great complexity.
