HC Deb 27 March 1905 vol 143 cc1211-2
MR. T. W. RUSSELL

On behalf of the hon. Member for East Down, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, is he aware that the new pier at Portavogie, county Down, erected by the Board of Works in Ireland, has been destroyed by the recent storm; what steps he proposes to take to rectify the injury done; and will he consult and be guided by the advice of local opinion as to what should be done.

MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH

The Board of Works have no advice of any damage to Portavogie Pier, which is not in their charge but in that of the county authority.
