§ MR. WILLIAM McKILLOPI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any portion of the money voted under the Marine Works Act has been spent in the county of Sligo; and, if so, how much; can he say whether there is any money now available under the Marine Works Act or any other for the construction and 725 improvement of fishing piers and harbours in Ireland.
§ MR. ATKINSONThe reply to the first inquiry is in the negative. There is a small balance amounting to about £4,000 on foot of the funds provided under the Sea Fisheries Act, 1883.
§ MR. O'DOWD (Sligo, S.)Why is it Sligo has received no grant, although the necessity for public works has been urged upon the Government over and over again by public bodies of the county?
