§ MR. GILHOOLY (Cork, W.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, When the Board of Works proposes to commence the removal of the Loo Rock at the entrance to Baltimore Harbour, in accordance with the promise given, the weather now being extremely favourable?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)(who replied) said, he was not aware that any promise was given to remove the rock in question. The original plan was to erect a beacon or perch upon it; but, after consultation with the representatives of the inhabitants, the Commissioners of Public Works had decided to place a buoy in the neighbourhood of the rock, and were now only waiting the consent of the Commissioners of Irish Lights in order to carry out the revised plan.
