§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Congested Districts Board have refused to assist the fishermen of Dingle, County Kerry, in procuring ice for the safe transport of their fish; and whether, with the view of promoting the fishing of this district, they will accede to the request made by all the fishermen of the district.
§ MR. WYNDHAMIt is not the practice of the Board to provide ice for sale to fishermen at stations where fisheries have been established. An application, however, has been made by a resident at Dingle for a loan of £200 for the construction of an icehouse. This the Board will sanction if satisfactory security be given.
