SIR THOMAS ESMONDS (Wexford, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will use his influence with the authorities in Dublin to have the work in connection with the improvement of Arklow Harbour proceeded with without further delay, so that this year may not be lost.
MR. BRYCECertain legal questions in connection with the future maintenance of the proposed works are under consideration, and must be decided before further progress can be made. There will, I trust, be no undue delay.
