REAT WESTERN RAILWAY.
From DUBLIN to MULLINGAR, ATIILONE, and
LONGFORDi
At a Special Meeting of the Provisional Directors, held this day,
which was filly attended, the following resolutions were unanimously
agreed to :
Reeolved,—That the Report of the Board of Trade in favour ofthe
Irisk Great Western Railway, from Dublin to Galway, and against
rho Mullingar, Athlone, and Longford, is wholly incompatible with
the litereets of the Great Central Districts, west and north-west of
Dublin.
Resolved,—That the country lying between the Enniskillen and
Dundalk Railway, on the north, and the Great Southern and Western
Railway, on the south, comprising a, space from Enniskillen to
Thurles of about 110 miles, and from N.ewtom-Butler to Pertarling-
ton of about 70 miles, would be most imperfectly accommodated by
the line recommended, which would leave the largest, most populous,
and fertile portion of this district, including the whole of the northern
part of Connaught, wholly without the benefit of railway communi-
cation.
Reiolved,—That the line recommended passing from Athlone to
Sailing, principally through the Bog of Allen, In close competition
with the Grand Canal, would accommodate only the southern part
of the district, whilst it would be destructive to the property vested
in this canal.
Resolved,—That the line from Dublin to Mullingar, Athlone, and
Longford, traverses from east to west nearly the centre of the
groat midland districts before referred to, and passing through the
most fertile and populous parts of them, would afford general accom-
modation to the whole country, west and north-west of Dublin, in-
chiding the entire province of Connaught, whilst from the arrange-
ments made with the Royal Canal Company, it would protect and
improve the property vested in that great national undertaking.
Resolved,—That the principles on which the Board of Trade hare
acted have: precluded them from entering into such investigation of
the statements made to them as would insure to a tribunal, wholly
unacquainted as the Board asp with the localities, that full and accu-
rate information neeessary to enable them to decide finally on this
subject.
Resolved,—That this Committee, deeply impressed with the vast
importance of this subject, both in a local and national point of view,
here unanimously come to the determination that it is their duty to
being the line to Mullingar, Athlone, and Longford before Parlia-
ment, and they feel the utmost confidence that upon a full and
searching inviaktion this lino must obtain the approval anti sane-
hen of the Legislature.
Resolved,—That in pursuance of the foregoing Resolutions the sum
of 43,000/., being the deposit required by the standing orders of
Parliament, be lodged forthwith, the Petition for the Bill imme-
diately presented to the House of Commons, and such other mea-
sures adopted as will secure the most prompt and effective investiga-
tion of our cast before the Legislature.
