HC Deb 30 June 1913 vol 54 c1506W
Mr. O'DOHERTY

asked why the Congested Districts Board, having first arranged to send a surveyor to meet the Donegal county surveyor in order to inspect Newbridge, Rathmullen (landing place) and report thereon, now, without any alteration in the circumstances, decline to carry out the arrangements, especially as the Donegal County Council is unanimous in the matter?

Mr. BIRRELL

The Congested Districts Board recently decided that they would not undertake the work of improving the landing place at Newbridge (Rath- mullen), having regard to the large expenditure now being arranged for harbour works in Lough Swilly. In the circumstances the Board did not consider it necessary to have an inspection made as had been previously intended.
