§ Mr. PETER M'DONALD (Sligo, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in face of the frequent complaints as to the necessity of a landing pier at Innismurry Island, off the coast of Sligo, the Government will instruct that a portion of the grant for the construction and improvement of harbours of refuge and landing piers for the accommodation of those engaged in the herring fishery shall be 245 allocated for the purpose of making this So much-needed landing pier, and so obviate the danger and difficulty of the fishermen having to haul their fish and material from the boats over rocks nine or ten feet high, and facilitate the industry of the islanders?
§ * The CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.However desirable the proposed pier might be, the question of its construction can only be considered in connection with similar claims from the rest of Ireland.
