§ MR. M'CARTHY DOWNINGasked the President of the Board of Trade, The cause of the delay that has occurred in commencing the works for the erection of a lighthouse on Galley Head; and, whether he can state when it is probable the work may be completed?
§ MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE, in reply, said, the Irish Lights Commissioners had submitted to the Board of Trade estimates for the erection of a lighthouse on Galley Head, and they were being examined at the Trinity House. He had no doubt that an estimate amply sufficient for the purpose would be sanctioned within a very short time, and it would then remain for the Irish Lights Commissioners to begin the work.
