HC Deb 02 December 1902 vol 115 cc923-4
MR. TULLY

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he will state the amount of the grant made by the Board of Works to the Shannon Development Company for the construction of a pier at Dromod; will he explain why this pier has been allowed to get into dilapidation; and whether inquiry will be made as to who is responsible for this state of matters

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HAYES FISHER,) Fulham

The pier at Dromod was part of the old Shannon Navigation Works. No grant was made to the Shannon Development Company in respect of it. It is not now used for trading purposes, but is not in a state of dilapidation; and if there should be any indication of a revival of traffic, whatever repairs are necessary can be carried out at small cost.
