HC Deb 03 February 1902 vol 102 cc192-3
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether he can state what was the object of the Board of Works engineer in inspecting the Glin Pier during the recess, and what was his report thereon.

MR. WYNDHAM

The inspection of this pier was carried out merely to ascertain its condition. The engineer reported that the pier was in good repair.

MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY

Will the right hon. Gentleman give some reason why he did not extend the subsidised steam boat service to this pier? See page 41

MR. WYNDHAM

The report was that it could not be done.

MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY

Can the right hon. Gentleman not give me some tangible reason why it cannot be done?

MR. WYNDHAM

No.
