§ Mr. SCANLANasked whether the Congested Districts Board, or any of the other Government Boards in Ireland, can now undertake and complete, or assist in completing, the works already recommended and approved of by the Government inspector for the extension and improvement of the pier and harbour at Enniscrone, county Sligo?
§ Mr. BIRRELLIn 1909 the Department of Agriculture offered to contribute two-thirds of the cost of a scheme for a small 1959W improvement at Enniscrone harbour on condition that the county council contributed the remaining one-third. The council did not, however, offer to contribute. Since the passing of the Irish Land Act, 1909, Enniscrone is situated in a congested districts county, and the Department of Agriculture are not now in a position to renew their offer of assistance. The matter will be brought before the Congested Districts Board at their next meeting.
