HC Deb 11 August 1904 vol 140 c250
MR. MURPHY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state at whose request and for what purpose a training ship is about to be sent to Lough Swilly; and if representations are made to him by the inhabitants as to the undesirability of having a training ship in the locality, he will take steps to prevent the placing of the ship in Lough Swilly.

* THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. PRETYMAN,) Suffolk, Woodbridge

The "Calliope," sea-going training ship, is about to visit Lough Swilly in the course of her second summer cruise. There is, however, no intention of stationing a training ship at this port.

MR. MURPHY

The ship is being sent there against the wishes of the inhabitants.
