§ MR. DUFFY (Galway, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a difficulty has arisen in connection with the construction of the Kinvara Pier and other works in the harbour; whether the money required to commence and carry out the improvements is available; and will he explain what steps the Government intend to take to fulfil the promise made in the last session to enable the county council, in conjunction with the Congested Districts Board and the Agricultural Board, to commence the work at once.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe question of undertaking legislation which would have the effect of removing the difficulty in question is under consideration, and I hope to be able to introduce the necessary Bill at an early date.
§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDIn considering this, will the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind the claims of other districts?
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Bill to which my hon. friend refers will be introduced at the earliest possible date, and I hope it will receive the friendly consideration he anticipates.
