§ MR.FINUCANE (Limerick, E.)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, What is the reason for the delay in replying to 907 an application by the Limerick Harbour Board for a loan to repair damages done to Limerick floating dock; and, will the Treasury direct the immediate issue of the loan, so as to enable the Board to make these necessary repairs?
§ THE SECRETARY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)It was found necessary to make certain inquiries as to the financial position of the Limerick Harbour Board. I understand that the reply to the inquiries of the Treasury is being sent to-day; and I hope on receipt of it to be in a position to come to a decision.
