§ MR. WALTER LONG (Dublin, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Harbour Board have now submitted plans and estimates for the proposed works at Arklow, provision for which was made in the Vote for the Ireland Development Grant of 1905–6.
MR. BRYCEThe Harbour Board have not yet submitted plans and estimates for the proposed works at Arklow. It is desirable that they should do so forthwith in order that the work may be begun. As to the general position, I would refer the right hon. Gentleman to my reply to the Question of the hon. Baronet the Member for North Wexford on Thursday last.†
§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDEArising out of that Answer, might I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he will use his influence to expedite matters?
MR. BRYCEI will do all I can, as it is very desirable that the work should be done at the earliest possible moment.
