HC Deb 07 March 1893 vol 9 c1234
MR. PINKERTON (Galway)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1) if he is aware that on the 26th of May, 1892, a letter was written to the Secretary to the Local Government Board, on behalf of a number of influential inhabitants, calling attention to the fact that the Coleraine Town Commissioners, as the Urban Sanitary Authority, had established a depot for the sweepings of the streets, at the corner of Circular Road, Coleraine, opposite a number of dwelling-houses, and on the way to the leading road from Portrush and Portstewart; (2) if complaint was made that the depot was an eyesore, and, in warm weather, a nuisance; (3) and if, through the intervention of the Local Government Board, any action was taken by the Town Commissioners to abate the nuisance; and, if not, will he see his way, in the interest of the public health, to cause its removal?

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

The facts are as stated in paragraphs 1 and 2. As regards paragraph 3, the Local Government Board report that the Commissioners have secured a new site for the deposit of the street sweepings.
