§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will say when will Liscannor Harbour works be commenced; will the county council or Board of Works carry out the work; what plans have been adopted, and will they be submitted to the county council; and will the tenders for the work be public or private; and what is the exact amount of the grant to be given under the Marina Works Act.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe Treasury have sanctioned an advance under the Act for the works of improvement at Liscannor. The expenditure contemplated is £8,500, a third of which will be provided by the Department of Agriculture and the balance out of the Marine Works Grant. Public tenders will be called for forthwith, and the works will be commenced as quickly as possible. They will be carried out by contract under the supervision of the Board of Works. It is not proposed to submit the plans to the county council. They provide for the construction of two new berths, an extension of the existing groyne, the deepening of the harbour, and certain other repairs and works.
§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDIs it not the fact that the county council have decided to give a guarantee?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI believe so.
§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDThen they ought to see the plans.
