§ 30. Mr. FITZPATRICKasked what steps the Government intend taking to have the River Barrow drained; whether they are aware of the damage and loss of property caused by the frequent overflowing of this river; and whether they intend taking immediate steps to carry out this work, in accordance with the scheme of drainage promised by the late Chief Secretary for Ireland some years ago?
Mr. SAMUELI regret that under existing financial conditions there is no prospect of funds being available for this purpose.
