HC Deb 28 July 1906 vol 162 cc217-8
MR. FETHERSTONHAUGH

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to the claim of a man named M'Gloin to ownership of a portion of the foreshore of Ballysadare Bay, county Sligo, and to exclude fishermen from anchoring their boats there; and if he will communicate with the local coastguard officer for a report on the subject, and give the necessary instructions for protection of the rights of the public and the Crown.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OP TRADE (Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE,) Carnarvon Boroughs

I understand that Mr. M'Gloin's claim to certain property did not extend to any foreshore; but I will ask the local coastguard officer for a further report as to whether there has been any interference with the rights of the Crown or the user by the public of the foreshore in question.
