HC Deb 29 June 1917 vol 95 cc680-1
19. Mr. BYRNE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he is aware that injury has been caused to the Irish tourist industry by the withdrawal of all excursion and tourist facilities, excepting those places where railway companies have hotels, and that this preferential treatment is tantamount to subsidising opposition to private enterprise out of public funds; and if the Government is prepared to appoint a committee of business men to inquire into the matter and the position arising therefrom throughout Ireland?

Mr. DUKE

I have asked for information on this subject from the Irish Railway Executive Committee.
