§ Mr. ARTHUR LYNCHasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in regard to the train which leaves Ennis, county Clare, daily at 3 p.m. for Kilkee and Kilrush, he can state the average number of passengers per day which the train carries after the tourist season is over, the expense of running the train calculated per mile per day, and the extra cost to the ratepayers so entailed?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI have no information as to the earnings or cost per mile of the train in question, but I am informed by the West Clare Railway Company that this year they continued to run it after the end of the tourist season at the urgent request of the directors representing the ratepayers. The train has, however, now been discontinued.
