§ MR. O'MALLEY (Galway, Connemara)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state when the improvements of the Clifden Harbour, contemplated and provided for under the Marine Works Act are likely to commence.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) I beg to refer to the reply which I gave on February 26th† to the hon. Member's previous Question on this subject. I can only repeat that I will take, as soon as I can, an opportunity of looking into the matter, if possible on the spot. I do not anticipate that a decision can be arrived at for some time to come. As the amount available under the Marine Works Act is limited, regard must always be had to the competing claims of various districts.
