MR. ROLANDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that fishermen of Cooscroum, without exception, consider the providing of skids by the Congested Districts Board as a useless temporary expedient in view of the steep and rocky character of the beach; and whether, seeing that fully thirty boats are in use in this cove, the Congested Districts Board will follow local advice, and adopt the temporary expedient, pending some permanent improvement, of placing baulks laid down in concrete to facilitate the drawing up of the boats.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe Board adopted the proposal to provide a skid with iron rollers on the advice of its fishery expert. The funds at its disposal, and the claims from other localities, do not permit the Board to undertake a more expensive; work at this place.
§ MR. BOLANDWas not the local advice practically neglected?
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe local advice consisted in asking for more extensive works than the funds would allow.
§ MR. JOHN REDMONDIt was the right advice, however.
