4. Travelling Facilities.

Motion made (Deputy Tierney):

“That the Committee considers that the system of providing railway facilities for Deputies and Senators so far in operation has been unsatisfactory, both from the point of view of Deputies and Senators, and of the cost to the State, and that the State should take up with the railway companies the possibility of providing full facilities for travel in all parts of the Saorstát at the minimum real cost, irrespective of the railway companies’ existing scheduled charges.”
