HC Deb 20 March 1906 vol 154 cc225-6
MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a storehouse is very much required on Oysterbed Quay, at Sneem, county Kerry; and whether in view of the fact that all opposition on the part of the landlord to its erection has been withdrawn, and that, owing to the absence of a storehouse, this quay is very little used, the Congested Districts Board will undertake to erect one.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. BRYCE,) Aberdeen, S.

The Congested Districts Board are aware that a storehouse on Sneem Pier is needed, but as only one steamer trades to Sneem, the Board are of opinion that the owners should provide their own store. The Board, moreover, have been advised that they have no power to give a site for a building on the pier which they have constructed, even if the space were sufficient, which it is not; and they are not the owners of the adjacent land.
