asked the Minister for Local Government whether he is aware that the ferry service operated by the Dublin Corporation from North Wall to Ringsend is of an unsatisfactory nature; that the boat engines are bad and that, as a result, workers who have to use the service are late frequently; that the protection in the boats against rain is inadequate and that there are no shelters at the termini; and, if so, whether he will take appropriate action to see that these matters are remedied at an early date.

Mr. Murphy
I am aware that this service is unsatisfactory in certain respects and that the corporation have been considering means of improving it. I shall bring the matters complained of to the notice of the corporation who will, I am sure, do what is possible to remedy them.
Would the Minister ask the corporation to deal with it as a matter of urgency?
Mr. Murphy
Yes.
