§ MR. P. M'DONALD (Sligo, N.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If his attention has been called to the injury done to the poor fishermen of Enniscrone, Easky, and Killala by the system of trawling; and, whether the Fishery Commission will take the necessary steps to prevent 823 the continuence of trawling within certain limits?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. JOHN MORLEY) (Newcastle-on-Tyne)No complaint has been made to the Inspectors of Fisheries of injury done by trawling in the Killala Bay. Nearly all the fishermen at Enniscrone use trawls themselves. I believe that some of them have objected to larger boats than their own being allowed to fish there.
