§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any steps are being taken to promote the scheme for the drainage of the Scariff district, county Clare, which was brought under his notice some time ago.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) I would refer to the Answer which I gave on the 19th instant, to Questions put by the hon. Member for the Leix Division.† For the reasons then given it will not be possible to consider drainage schemes for particular districts for some time to come.
