HC Deb 05 August 1898 vol 64 cc275-6
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN

On behalf of the honourable Member for the St. Patrick's Division of Dublin I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether a residue of unappropriated grants to the extent of £15,000 is available for county Kerry; whether he is prepared to advise a grant of that amount for the purpose of establishing a technical fishing school at Cahirciveen; and whether this project has been frequently discussed, and Government support asked for?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.

If the honourable Member will give me a clue as to the source from which the sum stated in the first paragraph to be standing to the credit of Kerry is derived, I will make inquiry into the matter. Perhaps he will, at the same time, refer me to his authority for the statement respecting the proposed establishment of a technical fishing school at Cahirciveen, as I have been unable to trace any correspondence on the subject.
