§ Mr. O'DONNELLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Development Commissioners have received from the Dingle harbour board a memorial requesting a grant for the improvement of the pier and harbour; and whether, seeing this is the largest fishing port in the whole of Ireland, that practically nothing was spent from any Government source in its development, that the fishing industry is the only one in the whole district, and is considerably retarded on account of inadequate pier accommodation, he will urge on the Commissioners the necessity of making a substantial grant to an object that will help very considerably an important industry?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe Commissioners have received the memorial and propose to deal with it in connection with a general application recently received from the Congested Districts Board for Ireland. I understand that the chairman and another member of the Commission will probably visit the locality at an early date. I have no doubt that they will give due weight to the considerations mentioned by the hon. Member.
