§ MR. CLANCYI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention has been drawn to a resolution of the North Dublin District Council, in which the complaint is made that the dredger at present employed in dredging Howth Harbour deposits the stuff which it removes in such a place that the incoming tides wash it all in again to the mouth of the harbour; and whether, if there be foundation for this complaint, directions will be given by the Board of Works to have the operations of the dredger referred to conducted with a view to the effective discharge of the work which it is set to accomplish.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (Mr. VICTOR CAVENDISH, Derbyshire, W.)No such resolution has been forwarded to the Board of Works. The Board's officers carefully selected the position in which the dredger deposits and I understand there has been no occurrence such as described in the Question.
§ MR. CLANCYThe Question will be repeated, for the resolution I refer to in it has been published.
