HC Deb 19 March 1888 vol 323 c1618
MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the fishermen of the west side of Lough Swilly have made representations to the Government respecting the effects of trawling on their fishing grounds; and, whether any, and what, reply has been given?

THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY (Colonel KING-HARMAN) (Kent, Isle of Thanet)

(who replied) said, that within the past few days representations had been received from the fishermen of Lough Swilly as to the injury done them by the trawlers. Those representations had been forwarded to the proper quarters, and would, no doubt, receive the attention that they deserved.
