§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the improvement in the landing stage at Cooscroum, county Kerry, provided by the Congested Districts Board after a delay of over two years, consists of a frame of which the total length is thirteen and a half feet, although the thirty boats for which it is required have a keel length each of twenty-four feet; can he state what is the total cost of this contrivance; and whether the Congested Districts Board will provide proper facilities for assisting the fishermen at this spot.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe Board has provided three frames carrying rollers for 365 this landing place. Two of these will be in use simultaneously, whilst the third will be carried ahead to receive the boat as it moves forward. The total cost of the appliance will be £10. Applications for the construction of piers or boatslips are considered in the order of their relative importance, and there is no prospect that further funds will be available for expenditure at this spot for some years.
