HC Deb 12 November 1912 vol 43 c1829W
Mr. THOMAS F. SMYTH

asked the Chief Secretary if the Congested Districts Board have received a memorial from people living in the district between Calloughs and Longfield, Carrigallen, county Leitrim, with reference to the cleaning of the river which flows through that district, and which was done by the landlords about thirty years ago, since when the tenants have purchased their holdings; and, as about 400 acres of land are periodically flooded every year, if a Grant will be given by the Congested Districts Board towards the cleaning of this river?

Mr. BIRRELL

The memorial referred to has been received by the Congested Districts Board, but the question of making a Grant cannot at present be considered by the Board.
