§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has received a copy of a resolution passed by the Killaghtee Branch of the United Irish League on the 28th February, urging the claims of South Donegal Bay to a share of the marine grant for the building of boatslips and landing places for the fishermen on the south side of St. Ulin's Point, especially at Cassan Sound, and for repair at Ballyricard and Ballyethuland, and pressing for some share in the allocation of the remainder of the funds of the Donegal portion of the marine grant for this district which has been overlooked in that allocation; and what steps, if any, will the Government take, having regard to the needs of this locality, to secure for it participation in this grant.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe resolution has been received. In the allocation of the 321 grant preference was given to works according to their relative importance and after consultation with representatives of the county council. I cannot hold out any hope that a further allocation will be made in respect of the particular works mentioned in the Question.
