HC Deb 13 March 1907 vol 171 c59
MR. O'DOHERTY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland what steps, if any, have been taken to improve the harbour and fishing accommodation along the coast of North Donegal; and, seeing the need for such improvement, whether he will take steps to have the same effected.

MR. BIRRELL

Under the Marine Works Act, a total sum of about £14,000 has in recent years been expended on works at Downing's Bay, Gortnasate, Portnoo, and Cladnageragh, on the north coast of Donegal, and a further sum of £800 is about to be spent at Falchorrib. The Congested Districts Board have expended over £4,000 on that coast; particulars will be found in Appendix No. XXI. to the Board's last Annual Report.

MR. O'DOHERTY

These places are not in North Donegal.

MR. BIRRELL

I was speaking of their geographical position; not of the constituency in which they may be.
