HC Deb 05 November 1912 vol 43 c1041W
Mr. GILHOOLY

asked the Chief Secretary whether the attention of the Congested Districts Board has been called to the want of a fishery pier at Gerhies, Bantry, county Cork; whether some of the inspectors of the Fishery Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction have recognised that want; and, seeing that the lives and property of 100 fisher men are in daily peril, whether he will cause steps to be taken to have a pier erected at Gerhies?

Mr. BIRRELL

The attention of the Congested Districts Board has been called to the alleged want of landing accommodation at Gerhies, near Bantry, and the application has been referred for report to an inspection committee of the Board.
