§ MR. HARRIS(for Mr. J. BARRY) (Wexford, S.)asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, If the old Coastguard Station at Carne, County Wexford, was condemned by the Admiralty Authorities, and a site for a new Station purchased or rented a considerable time ago; what is the cause of delay in the erection of the new Station; and, when will the work be commenced?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON) (Middlesex, Ealing)the cottages at the Coastguard Station referred to have not been condemned, but are stated to be crowded and inconvenient, and a site for a new Station was leased in December, 1886. The delay in the erection of the new buildings is due to the necessity of satisfying more pressing claims. It is hoped that it will be possible to proceed with them in the next financial year.
