HC Deb 07 March 1905 vol 142 cc554-5

Signal Station at Ballylynch, Baltimore.

MR. GILHOOLY (Cork County, W.)

To ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can state at what date the signal station at Ballylynch, Baltimore, was erected; and whether the consent of the landlord was obtained before its erection.

(Answered by Mr. Arthur Lee.) This signal station was erected in September, 1891, on a site obtained on a yearly tenancy from Mr. Cornelius Regan, who, in making his offer to let the ground, stated that he was the ''lawful tenant with all legal rights." It does not appear that the landlord was asked to consent to the erection of the signal station.
