HC Deb 28 March 1917 vol 92 cc454-5W
Mr. KELLY

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland (1) whether he has now received the Report of the Irish Railway Committee on the Burtonport line; and, if not, will he press the committee to deal with this question at once, in view of the fact that it has now been before them for some months; and (2) if he is now in a position to say what steps will be taken to secure an efficient service on the Burtonport Railway and such permanent alteration in the management of this and other local lines as is necessary?

Mr. DUKE

I have not yet received the Report of the Burtonport Railway, but the matter is being dealt with as speedily as possible. The legal and financial questions require careful consideration.
