MR. O'CONNOR POWERasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether the fishery piers and harbours proposed to be in part constructed out of a special grant for that purpose have been decided on; and, if so, whether he has any objection to state the localities which have been selected?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERSir, I cannot yet inform the hon. Gentleman as to the piers selected. A Committee has been appointed, consisting of the Vice President of the Local Government Board in Ireland; Mr. Brady, Inspector of Irish Fisheries; Mr. Le Fanu, one of the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland; and a naval officer of experience, to consider the claims of the different localities from which applications have been received. I shall be happy to give the hon. Member the information he requires whenever I receive it.
§ MR. W. E. FORSTERI cannot exactly say, but I believe in a very short time.
