§ MR. JOHN O'CONNOR (Tipperary, S.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Who holds the sum of £600, contributed some years ago to build a pier at Renard Point, opposite Valentia, county Kerry; and, whether, in view of the wants prevailing in that district, and the urgent need of employment among the labouring classes, steps will be taken to apply the funds in question to the purpose for which it was raised?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. JOHN MORLEY) (Newcastle-on-Tyne), in reply, said, the fund to which the hon. Gentleman referred had never come into the possession of either of the Government Departments concerned, and they had no knowledge whatever of the existence of such a fund.
