§ MR. CLANCY (Dublin County, N.)To ask the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been 345 directed to the danger of fishing vessels caused by the flat rocks in the Sound between Ireland's Eye and Howth Harbour; and whether he will cause the proper authority to place a buoy in the place indicated.
(Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) The Board of Trade do not possess the power suggested in the latter part of the Question. I have, however, communicated with the Commissioners of Irish Lights, who inform me that they do not consider that the placing of a buoy in the position indicated is a matter for them to deal with.
