HC Deb 03 March 1904 vol 131 cc71-2
MR. O'MALLEY (Galway, Connemara)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware of the fact that the memorial to the Galway Council, in reference to the Marine Works Act, was only sent to that body on the 9th February, and as the reply of the council was forwarded to Dublin Castle on the 16th February, he will state when the proposed works at Cleggan, Roundstone, and Clifden will be commenced: and, if there is to be further delay in the prosecution of those works, he will state the cause of the delay.

MR. WYNDHAM

The forms of memorial were sent to the county council early in October. They were received back from the council, perfected and sealed, on the 25th February. The Lord Lieutenant's certificates in respect of the proposed works at Roundstone, Cleggan, and Kilronan were communicated to the Treasury this morning. In the case of Clifden negotiations have not yet been concluded.
