§ MR. COXI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the ruinous condition of the Scariff (County Clare) Docks and the roadway leading thereto has been brought under the notice of the Irish Board of Works, in whom the control of the docks and the Scariff River navigation is vested; whether it is a fact that there is neither a crane nor a weighing machine on the pier, although there is a regular service of twelve steamers plying to and from the dock weekly; and whether, in view of the great importance of this quay to the trade of the surrounding neighbourhood, he will give instructions to the Board of Works to have the necessary improvements immediately carried out?
SIR J. GORSTI must ask the hon. Member to postpone this question, as I have not had the opportunity of getting the information from Ireland.
