§ SIR T. ESMONDEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland why the Congested Districts Board Inspector on the occasion of his recent visit to Ventry Harbour did not inspect the site on which the inhabitants of Ventry, the Dingle Ratepayers' Association, and the fishermen of the Manx fishing fleet have repeatedly petitioned the Congested Districts Board to construct a pier; whether the Congested Districts Board Inspectors have ever inspected this site; if he is aware that the Congested Districts Board have had the 1599 question of this pier before them for the past nine months; and whether there is any probability of the application of the people of Ventry receiving attention from the Congested Districts Board?
MR. J. MORLEYTwo members of the Congested Districts Board recently visited Ventry Harbour. They inspected the site of the proposed pier. My hon. Friend may rest assured the matter is receiving the careful attention of the Board. The Memorial from the Manx fishermen was not received by the Board until the end of June, so that it is not very old.
