§ MR. MAGUIRE (Clare, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that two horses and cars have fallen into the river off Scariff Pier; and whether he will at once take steps to make the pier safe?
§ SIR J. T. HIBBERTI am informed that about two years ago a horse frightened by a traction engine ran away and leaped into the dock with a cart, and last April a horse, left feeding with no one in charge, backed with a cart into the dock. No loss occurred either time. Posts and chains would not have prevented either accident, and would greatly interfere with the traffic.
