§ MR. KENNYasked the Chief Secretory to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he is aware that the Irish Board of Works removed the fish pass at Killaloe last autumn, and have not since replaced it by a new one; if he is aware that a great number of salmon and peel have recently been destroyed by endeavouring to ascend the Shannon through the sluices at Killaloe; if he will cause inquiry to be made; and, if the facts are found accurate, recommend that a new pass be constructed to prevent this great destruction of valuable fish?
§ MR. COURTNEYSir, the old fish pass at Killaloe was removed when the weir there was altered; a new one is in hand, and will be finished in a month. I have inquired as to any loss of fish during the alteration, and am glad to say that the information I have received does not bear out the allegation in the Question.
