§ MR. PETER M'DONALD (Sligo, North)asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, What action, if any, has been taken as to the carrying out of necessary improvements on Kingstown East Pier, for which estimates were furnished by Mr. P. A. Doyle, C.E.; and, if no action has been taken, whether the Lords of the Admiralty will, within a reasonable time, take the matter in hand?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.)The improvements in question are wholly intended to promote the recreation and amusement of visitors to Kingstown; and Mr. Doyle and other gentlemen interested in Kingstown were recently informed by the Commissioners of Public Works as Harbour Commissioners that no objection would be raised to the execution of the scheme if carried out from other than public funds.
