§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that fishing boats have lately stranded on the Ballyearbery sand-bar in the Cahirciveen river, county Kerry, thereby causing the loss of their night's fishing; and, if so, whether the Congested Districts Board will erect a buoy on the bar, and perches on the Lack-a-vallig and East Ballyearbery reef of rocks, in the river estuary, in order to render the channel safe for navigation.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) In May 1901 the Congested Districts Board offered to make a contribution towards the cost of placing a buoy on the bar provided the County Council carried out the work. The Board also offered to defray one-half the cost of removing the Carrig-a-vallig rock, but no action has since been taken by the council in respect, to either work.
