HC Deb 24 August 1886 vol 308 c372
SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Dublin Co., S.)

asked the President of the Board of Trade, If the "port dues" imposed by the Dublin Port and Docks Board on fishing boats from Arklow, Howth, Dungarvan, and other places on the coast of Ireland, can be diminished so as to allow the fishermen to dispose of their fish at a profit in Dublin?

THE SECRETARY TO THE BOARD OF TRADE (Baron HENRY DE WORMS) (Liverpool, East Toxteth)

(who replied) said The application of the funds referred to by the hon. Baronet is at the disposal of the Dublin Port and Docks Board; and I have accordingly forwarded a copy of the Question to the Board for any observations they may have to make on the subject.
