§ MR. FLAVINI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, if he is aware that great public inconvenience is caused in the shipping of cattle, horses, &c, for want of suitable accommodation at Salleen Pier, county Kerry, where, under ordinary circumstances, animals have to be lowered ten feet from the pier to a boat by the owners themselves; and whether inquiries will be made, from the harbour master, with a view to recommending some improvement to facilitate the public who ship a large number of animals to and from Salleen Pier?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI understand that the shipment of cattle and horses at this pier is very small. The tolls on cattle for the past three months amounted to less than five shillings. The Board of Works are unable, at present, to say whether the inconvenience alleged in the question could be remedied at a reasonable cost, having regard to the traffic and the receipts, but upon these points the Board are making inquiries.
