HC Deb 17 June 1880 vol 253 c189
MR. GREER

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether any portion of the Grant proposed by Her Majesty's Government to be devoted to Fishery purposes in Ireland will be applied to the extension or repairs of existing Fishing Piers in Ireland?

MR. W. E. FORSTER,

in reply, said, that the main object of the grant proposed by the Government to be devoted to fishery purposes in Ireland was the construction of new piers. He could not absolutely say that no part of the grant would be applied to the extension of existing piers; but certainly none of it would be spent on repairs.
