§ DR. AMBROSETo ask Mr. Attorney-General for Ireland whether he is aware that the Congested Districts Board, at their meeting in last November, passed a vote for a timberpile extension of the pier at Darby's Point, Achill Island, and instructed their engineer to draw up plans and submit an estimate; have those plans and the estimate been yet submitted to the Board; if not, will he explain why; and whether, in view of the distress prevailing in Achill Island at present, he will urge on the Board to commence this useful work at once.
(Answered by Mr. Atkinson.) The engineering survey has been made and the matter will be further considered by the Board at its next meeting. Employment on this work will consist mainly of skilled labour.
