HC Deb 07 November 1906 vol 164 cc570-1
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY (Limerick, W.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the fact that the Great Southern and Western Railway Company do not on fair and market days at Abbeyfeale, in the county of Limerick, provide sufficient accommodation for the loading of cattle and pigs by their not having a sufficient number of waggons at the station and thus cause injury to the fairs and markets there; and whether he will make inquiries into the matter with the view to remedying the grievance.

MR. KEARLEY

My right hon. friend received from the hon. Member a complaint of an insufficient supply of waggons on the occasion of a fair at Abbeyfeale in August last, and communicated with the Great Southern and Western Railway Company thereon. The Company furnished an explanation, of which a copy was forwarded to the hon. Member on the 22nd September. As he gathers that there has been further cause for complaint he will again call the Company's attention to the matter.
