HC Deb 22 May 1905 vol 146 cc967-8
MR. BOLAND

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state in how many individual cases the scheme issued some months ago by the Congested Districts Board for the insurance of fishing boats has been taken advantage of in the fishing districts of the county Kerry.

MR. WALTER LONG

In one case only, so far.

MR. BOLAND

Is it because the rate is too high?

MR. WALTER LONG

I believe it is because the arrangement has only been in force a short time. I do not think there is any allegation that the rates are too high.
