§ MR. W. J. CORBET (Wicklow, E.)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, What progress is being made with the Arklow Harbour works, which were to be completed by the 1st June, 1885; whether any remonstrance has been received from the Local Committee, complaining of the almost complete stoppage of the works during the Spring and Summer of the present year; and, whether he can give any indication of when they will be finished?
§ THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)It is expected that the South Pier at Arklow will be finished by November 1. Its completion was delayed in consequence of representations from a local committee, which resulted in the suspension of the works pending further inquiry. The works were resumed in July, as there seemed general agreement that the South Pier should be completed at once.
