§ MR. GLENDINNING (Antrim, N.)To ask the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) if he is aware that the County Council of Antrim have bought the pier at Ballintoy, thereby obtaining full control; and if under these circumstances the promise of the Board to repair the pier may be carried out at once, as risk is run of total destruction if this work is not completed before the late autumn and winter gales come, which are so frequent on this coast.
(Answered by Mr. T. W. Russell.) Port Ballintoy is in process of being transferred to the county. When the necessary legal steps are completed the work will be undertaken with the least possible delay.
