HC Deb 05 April 1909 vol 3 cc875-6W
Mr. CLANCY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether troops stationed in Dublin, when proceeding to and from Kilbride, march the entire distance, 18 miles, between Dublin and Kilbride camp; whether baggage is conveyed to and from that camp by cart along the road, which for the greater part is so steep and heavy that the horses frequently become exhausted and unable to draw the loads; and, seeing that the Dublin and Blessington Steam Tramway runs within a short distance of Kilbride, whether this service will be utilised by the military authorities in future for the conveyance of troops and baggage to and from Kilbride?

Mr. HALDANE

This Question has been referred to the. General Officer Commanding-in-Chief the Forces in Ireland for report.
