§ 81. Sir M. DOCKRELLasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he is aware that a number of able-bodied men are un employed in Greystones and arc drawing the out-of-work donation; that many of those who were fishermen before the War are now demobilised soldiers; that the county council of Wicklow in 1901 ratified the, action taken in 1897 by the grand jury of Wicklow repudiating responsibility for the upkeep of Greystones Harbour; and whether he will take, steps to have the harbour made available for fishing craft?
Mr. HENRYI am informed that there are no able-bodied men at Greystones un employed, and that the only men there who are drawing the unemployment money are eight ex-soldiers, none of whom were fishermen before joining the Army. I am aware that the county council of Wicklow repudiate responsibility for the. Up keep of Greystones Harbour, but as that responsibility attaches (o them by virtue of the Grand Jury Act of 1853, their attitude does not alter the legal position.
§ Sir M. DOCKRELLIs the hon. Gentle man aware that within a radius of seven miles of Greystones, and including Grey, there are fifty men receiving unemployment money, and that when the right hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Admiralty 1818 was Chief Secretary for Ireland he got £20,000 for the adjoining harbour of Wick low, which was not in such a bad condition as Greystones?
