§ MR. WILLIAM M'KILLOPTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the population of the congested district of Roughly, county Sligo, situate on the north coast of Sligo, are not permitted at present to gather seaweed unless on payment of 1s. per cart for same; that they are unable to take vehicles to the fishing pier erected for their accommodation owing to the want of a road sixty perches in extent; and, if so, whether he will have inquiries instituted with the view of having this state of affairs remedied.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) The Government has no power to interfere with any private arrangements existing in respect to seaweed. Inquiry will be made as to the alleged want of an accommodation road to the pier.
