§ MR. BOLANDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is in a position to make any announcement as to the improvement of the ferry facilities between Reenard and Valentia, under the Marine Works Act; and whether, in the event of further inquiries being made by him daring the recess, he will give an opportunity to those locally interested of placing their views before him.
§ MR. WALTER LONGI am not yet in a position to make any statement in this matter. Any representations that may be made to me by persons locally interested will, of course, be carefully considered.
