HC Deb 20 February 1893 vol 8 c1850
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether any complaints have reached hint as to the pier at Rosscarbery not affording sufficient shelter for vessels in bad weather; and whether the Government will consider the necessity for so extending the pier as to afford safe anchorage?

*THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. T. HIBBERT,) Oldham

Perhaps the hon. Member will allow me to answer this question. I have not seen, nor have the Board of Works received, any complaint as to the pier in question not affording sufficient shelter in bad weather. I am not, therefore, aware of any necessity for extending the pier, nor are there any funds available for the purpose.

MR. W. REDMOND

If representations are made in favour of extending the pier, will the Treasury consider the matter?

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

Yes, Sir; but I must repeat that there are no funds available for such a purpose.
