§ MR. JAMES GILHOOLY (Cork Co., W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been directed to the condition of the Crookhaven fishery pier; 409 is he aware that Mr. McCarthy, a local boat owner, has expended a sum of money on it in order to prevent it from tumbling down; and whether, in view of the fact that Crookhaven is an important fishing station, he will recommend that the pier be put into an efficient state of repair, and also that Mr. McCarthy be recouped the amount of his outlay on it?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURMy attention lots been drawn to the statements and claim made by Mr. McCarthy, and I am making inquiry into the matter.
