HC Deb 29 May 1911 vol 26 cc861-2W
Mr. SCANLAN

asked what provision is to be made by the Congested Districts Board or otherwise for the fishermen of Enniscrone, county Sligo; and whether he is aware of the disappointment prevailing amongst the fishermen of this district on account of the failure by the Government to fulfil even the promise made to those fishermen a year ago that a sum of money would be spent in deepening the harbour?

Mr. BIRRELL

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to his question on this subject on the 3rd April. The Congested Districts Board are advised that the expenditure requisite to provide at Enniscrone a landing place for use by fishing boats at all stages of the tide would be out of all proportion to the interests which would be served by the proposed improvement,
