§ 31. Mr. MacVEAGHasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he has seen the official announcement as to the large Grant by the Treasury for roads in Great Britain; and whether an equivalent Grant has been made to Ireland?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI have seen the announcement referred to. The question of an equivalent Grant for Ireland is under consideration.
§ Mr. MacVEAGHCan the right hon. Gentleman say why a decision has not been arrived at in regard to Ireland, seeing that a decision with regard to England was arrived at nearly two months ago?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI know that there has been some delay—necessary delay—because of the change of office. I have just had my attention drawn to this particular point, and will engage to see that attention is directed to it at once.
§ Mr. DEVLINWill the right hon. Gentleman deal with this matter also in the discussion?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI will try.
