HC Deb 27 July 1911 vol 28 cc1882-3W
Mr. GILHOOLY

asked whether the attention of the Congested Districts Board has been called to the want of pier accommodation in Schull harbour; and, if so, with what result?

Mr. BIRRELL

Representations have been received by the Congested Districts Board as to the necessity for improving the pier accommodation at Schull. The matter was referred by the Board to their inspector whose report has just been received, and will be considered by them at their next meeting.

Mr. GILHOOLY

asked whether the Congested Districts Board are aware of the necessity for a fishery pier at Gerhies, Bantry; whether they have promised a grant towards the erection of it; and when that promise will be realised?

Mr. BIRRELL

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to his question on this subject on the 14th February last. The Congested Districts Board did not make any promise of a grant towards the erection of the pier.
