HC Deb 10 March 1885 vol 295 cc607-8
MR. SEXTON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he will obtain and lay upon the Table a Report from the county surveyor upon the present condition of the Tarbert piers, and the probable cost of putting them in good repair, together with a statement of the tolls received, the cost of collection, the salary, if any, paid to the harbour master, and the sums expended on the piers for each year of the last ten?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I am not aware that there is more than one pier at Tarbert, and it is vested in the Grand Jury of the county of Kerry, who are responsible for its maintenance. I do not gather that there would be any objection to the Return asked for by the hon. Member, if he will move for it in the usual way.

MR. SEXTON

Will the right hon. Gentleman allow me to include in the Return all the piers affected by the Shannon Navigation Bill?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

That is another and a larger Question, which I cannot answer now.
