§ SIR T. ESMONDEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if his attention has been called to the statement in the last Report of the Inspectors of Irish Fisheries—namely, that if the pier at Dingle was extended into deeper water the large boats engaged in the mackerel fishing would bring their fish to Dingle for sale, and, being near the railway, would thereby save the expense and loss of carting it from other landing places; and whether, in view of the importance of Dingle as the centre of one of the most important fishing divisions on the Irish coast, the Government will take steps to extend the present pier, as suggested?
MR. J. MORLEYThe matter has not been overlooked by the Congested Districts Board, but they are not yet able to state whether they can undertake or contribute towards the extension of this pier.
