§ MR. SEXTON (On behalf of Mr. MORROGH, (Cork Co., E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he has seen the correspondence between the Irish Board of Works and the Kinsale Town and Harbour Commissioners respecting Kinsale Pier; is he aware that the Commissioners passed a resolution in March, 1888, requesting the details of the increased expenditure on the pier above the estimated amount; also that the Commissioners wrote in May, 1888, asking what was the amount that the first contractor was to receive, why he did not fulfil the contract, and why released from it; and if he will explain why the Board refuses to supply this information to the Local Authorities?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir JOHN GORST,) ChathamNo, Sir; I have not seen the correspondence, but I am informed that the Board of Works have not refused any information to the Local Authorities.
