HC Deb 09 July 1908 vol 192 cc92-3
MR. BOLAND

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the resolution adopted at the public meeting in Kenmare, County Kerry, on 29th June, protesting against the proposed change in the railway time table, whereby intending passengers to Kenmare by the night train would be detained at Headford Junction for more than an hour; and whether he will make representations to the railway company with a view to securing an arrangement whereby this inconvenience and discomfort, and resulting interference with the business of the town of Kenmare, will be obviated.

SIR H. KEARLEY

The Board of Trade have not seen the resolution referred to, but they have communicated with the railway company, who state that the train service on the branch line between Headford Junction and Kenmare is arranged with a view to affording the best connections practicable, and that the alteration referred to by the hon. Member gives an additional connection from Rosslare and Waterford and other places on the route.
