§ Mr. SHEEHANasked the President of the Board of Trade whether any representations have been made to his Department in reference to the proposed reclamation of certain slob lands at Queenstown Junction, county Cork; and is it proposed to hold any inquiry into the subject with a view to advancing a scheme which would provide much needed employment in the district?
Mr. BUXTONSeveral objections to the scheme have been addressed to the Board of Trade. I am not yet able to say whether 2547W a local inquiry will be necessary to enable the Board to come to a decision in the matter, but the matter will be pressed on as quickly as possible.
