§ MR. HEALYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If it is the fact that, up to the present, the Report of the Trustees to aid Sea and Coast Fisheries in Ireland for 1882 has not been issued; and, if he can explain the delay, and state when the Report might be looked for?
§ MR. TREVELYANSir, the Secretary informs me that the Report is in the hands of the printer, and that it is expected that it will be ready in a few days. The hon. Member is, no doubt, aware that it is not a Report which is prepared for presentation to Parliament.
§ MR. HEALYThat being so, could the right hon. Gentleman give us any information as to the negotiations which took place with regard to the position of the Secretary and the winding up of the fund?
§ MR. TREVELYANThat is a matter which I fully answered two or three months ago, and which I am quite prepared to answer again. Those negotiations fell through for reasons which I then gave, and it was impossible for me to proceed with the Bill. Next Session, however, I will certainly be prepared to proceed with the Bill.
