§ MR. GILHOOLY (Cork County, W.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether application has been made to the Congested Districts Board for a boatslip at Gerahies, Bantry, county Cork; and whether, in view of the fact that the fishermen in that district are hampered for want of accommodation to land their fish, he will have a slip provided for them.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) An application to the effect stated was received from the Bantry rural district council, and on the 16th October last the Congested Districts Board informed the district council that, if the Cork County Council should undertake the construction of a suitable landing place at Gerahies, the Board would consider what contribution they could make towards the work. No further communication has been received from the district council.
