HC Deb 04 June 1880 vol 252 cc1198-9
MR. BLAKE

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Whether, taking into account the necessity for having the proposed fishery piers and harbours on the coast of Ireland reported on with as little delay as possible, the Treasury will augment the present very inadequate engineering staff of the Board of Public Works?

LORD FREDERICK CAVENDISH

, in reply, said, the Government were fully alive to the necessity of having the works carried out as soon as possible, and would provide, as far as lay in their power, for their early commencement.
