§ MR. O'DOHERTYTO ask the Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the importance of Lough Swilly as a fortified harbour of refuge, the Government propose to improve the piers or boat slips along the lough in order to give facilities for communication between the various forts lately erected thereon.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) Certain facilities already exist for landing at the various forts on Lough Swilly, and it is proposed to improve these as funds become available. Further, the question of the improvement of the pier at Buncrana is under consideration.
