MR. J. P. GTLHOOLY (Cork, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether he is aware that the Zetland Pier, built at Adrigole as a relief work in 1891, at a cost of £5,000, is being constantly covered by the spring tides, and that a great portion of the work is being washed away; and, whether he intends to take any steps to prevent the injury being done to this pier by the spring tides?
THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. MORLEY, Newcastle-upon-Tyne)I am informed that some of the gravel inside the pier referred to was washed away recently, but that the injury is very slight and no damage was done to the concrete. The matter has been brought under the notice of the county surveyor.
