§ MR. R. POWERasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether it is intended to carry out the recommendations of the Inspectors of Irish Fisheries with regard to the improvement of the pier at Chuckpoint, in the county of Waterford; and, whether, as would appear from the last report of the inspectors, it is contemplated by the Treasury to entertain no further applications for grants for fishing piers and harbours for some time in consequence of the proposed improvements at the harbours of Arklow and Ardglass?
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACHIt is not intended to carry out the recommendation of the Inspectors of Irish Fisheries with respect to the pier at Chuckpoint at present. All works of this kind cannot be proceeded with at once, and some will no doubt be postponed until the completion of Ardglass Harbour, though others besides that harbour are now in course of construction.
