§ MAJOR JAMESON (Clare. W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state what steps the Government are prepared to take with a view of making good Liscannor Harbour; and are the Government prepared to help the Kilrush Harbour Board in the manner asked by them to enable the Board to improve the entrance to that harbour.
§ MR. WYNDHAMNegotiations are, I believe, proceeding between the County Council of Clare and the new Department in respect of Liscannor Harbour. I trust that some arrangement may be arrived at. I am also considering legislation which, if passed, will assist in placing certain fishery harbours in a more satisfactory position. But I cannot, at this stage, give pledges in respect of particular ports. In respect of Kilrush, the Board of Works are prepared to undertake certain improvements on conditions which have been communicated to the Urban District Council.
§ MAJOR JAMESONIn the event of anything being done, will this harbour be put under the County Council?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI shall be prepared to go into the separate question of maintenance when I bring in my Bill.
