§ MR. CONOLLYasked the President of the Board of Trade, If he would state to the House what information he has received from the Board of Irish Lights, as to the necessity for erecting one or more Lighthouses on the coast of Lough Swilly, in the county of Donegal; and, whether he is willing to take the subject into his early consideration?
§ MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE, in reply, said, that the Board of Trade had received no application on the subject; but the Department had had the subject under their own consideration for some time, and they were in communication with the Trinity House upon the matter. They hoped to be prepared upon an application in the statutory manner from the Irish Lights Board to erect a lighthouse upon Dunree Head, Lough Swilly, and they were now with that object in communication with the Irish Lights Board.
§ MR. CONOLLYgave Notice that he would move for certain Correspondence on the subject.
§ MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUEsaid, he should have thought that his answer would have rendered such a Motion unnecessary.
