§ Mr. O'DOHERTYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty on what date was the survey taken on which the present chart of Lough Swilly is based, when the last survey was completed and on what date was the draft of the new chart handed over to the hydrographic department, and when the new chart will be published; and whether, seeing the importance of this lough to the Scotch, English, and Irish fishing craft, and shipping generally, he will take steps to expedite the publication of the new chart?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe answer to the first part of the question is 1855; to the second, 1909; and to the third, April, 1910. As regards the fourth part of the question, all important changes affecting navigation in the Lough have already been placed on 1501W the charts. Changes affecting the shallower portions of the Lough will shortly be placed on the chart. In reply to the last part of the question, I may say that it is not proposed to publish a new chart, but only to complete the correction of the existing chart.
