§ MR. GWYNN (Galway)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, whether the Board of Works are responsible for the maintenance of the river wall at Wood Quay, in Galway City; how many lives have been lost by drowning at this place within the past ten years; and whether the Board of Works, if responsible for the maintenance, will provide a railing to prevent further accidents.
§ THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. BIRRELL, Bristol, N.)I am informed by the Board of Works that the responsibility for the maintenance of the river wall in question rests upon the Trustees incorporated under the Act 19 and 20 Vict., cap. 62, in whom the Lough Corrib Navigation is vested. The Board of Works have no information as to loss of life by drowning at this place.
§ MR. CHERRYIt would be better if the hon. Member would address the Question to the Secretary of the Treasury.
