§ MR. W. REDMOND (for Mr. FIELD,) Dublin, St. PatrickI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Congested Districts Board (Ireland) have had under consideration any scheme for the erection of a suitable pier in connection with the Baltimore Railway; and, if so, whether they have come to any decision on the matter; and whether any surplus remains of the sum granted by the Treasury for the construction of the Baltimore Extension Railway; and, if so, whether he will take steps to secure that such surplus shall be used to aid in the erection of the pier?
§ SIR J. T. HIBBERTThe Chief Secretary informs me that the Congested Districts Board have had under consideration a proposal for the extension of the pier at Baltimore in connection with the railway, but have not yet come to any decision on the matter. I am informed that there is no surplus under the Light Railways Act of 1889, and, even if there were, it would not be applicable to the erection of a pier.
