HC Deb 13 August 1896 vol 44 c738
MAJOR EUSTACE JAMESON (Clare, W.)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can advise Her Majesty's Government to allow a man-of-war to be permanently stationed at Scattery Roads, in the estuary of the Shannon, as the anchorage is of the best description, and there is no warship in the Shannon?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY

Her Majesty's warships are stationed at certain places on the Irish coast in the general interests of the Service, and I cannot, as at present advised, meet the wishes of the hon. and gallant Member.
