§ Mr. FETHERSTONHAUGHasked the Chief Secretary whether his attention has been directed to the damage annually done by the flooding of the Sillees River, in county Fermanagh; and will he make provision for the drainage of that area, which is inhabited exclusively by small farmers, in any proposed drainage legislation?
§ Mr. BIRRELLMy attention has been called to this matter, but I cannot hold out hopes of legislation to amend the existing drainage laws in the immediate future.
