§ MR. M'CARTANI beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that Messrs. Alexander Young and James Ray, of London, were appointed under "The Holywood Pier 1714 and Quay Order, 1882," as undertakers for the maintenance and regulation of the pier and works at Holywood, County Down; whether the undertakers were obliged (under a penalty of £ 10 a month for the omission) to exhibit lights on the pier from sunset to sunrise; whether the pier and works have been allowed to fall into ruin, and are now in a useless and dangerous state; and, whether steps will be taken to restore them to the same state in which they were when handed over to the undertakers appointed by the Order of 1882?
§ SIR M. HICKS BEACHI am in communication with the Belfast Harbour Commissioners on this subject, and will let the hon. Member know the result of the correspondence.
