§ MR. WOLFF (Belfast, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in consultation with the Board of Trade regarding the appointment of a representative of the Dublin Corporation on the Irish Lights Board, he will also take into consideration the claims of Belfast to be similarly represented by a member of the Harbour Board?
DR. KENNYI may also ask the Chief Secretary whether his attention has been directed to a letter addressed by the High Sheriff of Dublin to the Dublin Corporation regarding the exclusion of the official representatives of the Dublin Corporation from the Committees of the Irish Lights Board; whether he has received from the Corporation of Dublin a communication regarding the representation of the Dublin Corporation upon the constitution of the Irish Lights Board; and whether it is the intention,of the Irish Government to consult with the Board of Trade with a view to giving effect to the suggestions of the Dublin Corporation?
MR. J. MORLEYSo far as I am aware, neither the Irish Government nor the Board of Trade have a voice in the constitution of the Irish Lights Board, which is regulated by statute, nor in the constitution of their committees.
