§ Mr. FIELDasked the Under-Secretary for War whether he is aware that the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, the Dublin Port and Docks Board, the County Dublin County Council, and the Dublin Mercantile Association, have all unanimously passed resolutions requesting the War Office and Government to establish a permanent depot fully equipped for the reception of military and Government stores and supplies in Dublin; and whether, in view of those resolutions from responsible public bodies, he will consider the advisability of granting their request?
Mr. BAKERI am aware that such requests are made, but as I have already informed the hon. Member, I regret that I can give no undertaking that a permanent depot will be established. In this, as in other matters, it is not possible to anticipate the state of affairs at the conclusion of the War.
