§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Congested Districts Board will now consider the advisability of giving the fishermen of Cooscroum, near Cahirciveen, facilities for launching and hauling up their boats; can he say when steps will be taken to make the slip at Roads of real use to the fishermen; and when the end of the Boat Cove slip will be completed.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Congested Districts Board have postponed work at Cooscroum landing place as in their opinion other localities have stronger claims on their funds. The Board have already expended £l,015 upon the landing place at Roads, but they are advised that no reasonable expenditure would render such an exposed landing place safe at all times. Their engineer has been instructed to report as to the removal of a ledge of rock, but no other improvements are contemplated. The small addition proposed to be made to the slip at Glen Boat Cove will be carried out as soon as the services of a diver are available in the district.
