§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Dublin Co., S.)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, What steps will be taken to remedy the present unsatisfactory state of the East Pier of Kingstown Harbour, which has lately been covered with coarse loose gravel, to the great inconvenience of pedestrians?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton)The roadway of the East Pier at Kingstown has been recently repaired with gravel precisely in the same way as has been done for more than 40 years, and is not in an unsatisfactory condition; the Commissioners of Public Works are quite ready to afford every facility to any Public Body who may desire to carry out improvements from their own funds in adapting the pier for a promenade.
