§ 63. Mr. LYNCHasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the discrepancies in the system of freights instituted by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company as between Dublin and Limerick and between Dublin and Ennis and other towns in county Clare, arrangements will be made to group Ennis with Limerick, in accordance with the promise made by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company at the time of amalgamation?
69. Mr. WILLIAM REDMONDalso asked the President of the Board of Trade 1619 if he has received representations as to the rates charged to Ennis by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company, Ireland; and if he will give this matter his attention, in view of the importance of the matter to the traders and people generally of the county Clare?
Mr. ROBERTSONI have received representations on this subject, and have been in communication with the Great Southern and Western Railway Company, who are consulting the other companies concerned with a view to the reduction of certain rates to which attention was called. The Board will not lose sight of the question, and I will inform my hon. Friends of the result in due course.
Mr. W. REDMONDWill the right hon. Gentleman's Department bear in mind that this matter is pending for a long time, and that an early settlement is of the greatest importance?
