HC Deb 08 August 1918 vol 109 cc1517-8
13. Mr. LUNDON

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the Great Northern Railway Company ran special or auxiliary trains for the convenience of those who wished to participate in the Orange celebrations of 12th July; if so, will the number of such trains be given and were engines actually borrowed from the Great Southern and Western Railway Company for the above purpose; and whether he will see that similar facilities are afforded to the Ulster Nationalists in case they apply for them on the 15th of August?

Mr. SHORTT

I am informed that the Great Northern Railway Company did not run any special or auxiliary trains for the convenience of those who wished to participate in the Orange celebrations in the North on the 12th July, nor were any engines borrowed from the Great Southern and Western Railway Company.
