§ MR. DUFFYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that the County Council of Galway passed a resolution quite recently urging upon the Government the necessity of carrying out certain improvements in the state of Kinvara Harbour; and, having regard to the many representations made to the Government by the county council, the District Council of Gort, and all the public bodies in the county, in favour of having these improvements carried out, he will state when it is proposed to commence the works.
§ MR. WALTER LONGAn agreement between the county council and the Congested Districts Board as to the future maintenance of these works was 1138 only executed a few days ago. The necessary proceedings under the Marine Works Act are now being taken, and in the meantime the Board of Works are taking preliminary measures to arrange for the commencement of the works.
