HC Deb 16 June 1910 vol 17 cc1443-4
Mr. BOLAND

asked the Chief Secretary whether, in view of the successful establishment of a fish-canning industry in Dingle, he will state if the Congested Districts Board will make inquiries as to the suitability of Valentia for a similar industry and use its influence to secure its establishment?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Congested Districts Board have only very recently assisted in the opening of the mackerel-canning industry at Dingle. If a little experience shows that it is successful the Board will be glad to assist in any well-considered project for the establishment of the industry at such places as may be suggested by capitalists.
