§ MR. WILLIAM CORBETI beg to-ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he has received a resolution, passed at a meeting of the inhabitants and fishermen of Greystones, calling his attention to the fact that the harbour just completed at that place is already nearly filled up with shingle, asking to have a north groyne constructed to prevent further mischief, and that the present accumulations may be dredged out; and whether the Government intend to take any steps to make the harbour accessible?
§ MR. JACKSONYes, Sir; I have received the resolution to which the hon. Member refers, and the subject is receiving attention. The decision must depend upon how the available surplus is to be disposed of; but the Irish Government are considering the matter.
§ MR. CLANCYIs there any surplus from this fund?
§ MR. T. M. HEALYOr has it to be taken from the fund provided by the Land Purchase Bill?
§ MR. JACKSONIt is hardly necessary to answer the last question. There is, or rather will be, a surplus available from the Sea Fisheries Fund when some loans are repaid which extend over a period of time. Not very much has been paid at. present.
