HC Deb 24 July 1893 vol 15 c304
SIR T. ESMONDE (Kerry, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if, in view of the great quantities of fish brought to Smerwick Harbour, and the want of facilities for transport from, and of preserving the fish at, that place, he will advise the Congested Districts Board to repeat there the experiment they have already tried with so much success in Galway, of providing fish boxes, an ice hulk and ice, for the use of the fishermen?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. MORLEY,) Newcastle-upon-Tyne

The experiment to which the question of the hon. Baronet refers is carried on in the Spring of the year only, and the Congested Districts Board will consider before next Spring the suggested extension of the experiment to Smerwick.
