§ DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, What is the estimated cost of the now pier at Rosscarbery, County Cork; whether the work is completed; what was the term fixed by contract for its completion; for how many years has the building been going on; whether the first severe storm to which it has been subjected has severely damaged the structure, sweeping away many of the blocks of stone and concrete; and, whether the County Surveyor has taken over the pier from the Board of Works?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON) (Leeds, N.)(who replied) said: I am informed that the estimated cost of the pier referred to is £4,000. The work was commenced in January, 1885, and the contract provided for completion in November of that year. Four blocks 255 were removed and others damaged by the severe storm of January last; but the injury has been repaired. The work is now practically complete, but has not yet been transferred to the county.
