§ MR. MAURICE HEALY (for Mr. CHANCE)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Government will lay upon the Table of the House the evidence taken by the Irish Fisheries Commissioners at Waterford on 3rd August last, when they refused to amend the bye-law of 15th July, 1884, prohibiting drift fishing in the tidal waters of the Suir above Drumdowney Point, or to revert to the previously existing bye-laws permitting drift fishing up to Fishertown Point and Glasshouse Quay; whether he is aware that since the passing of the bye-law of July, 1884, the drift fishers at Ballinalaw and Glasshouse have become impoverished, and the number of amateur rod fishers on the Suir largely increased; and whether the Government intend to make any provision for protecting public rights on that river, and for repairing the quay at Glasshouse, now ruinous and dangerous to the working fishermen using it?
§ MR. JACKSONI find that the shorthand writer's notes of the proceedings in Court before the Inspectors of Fisheries in the case referred to are, together with the evidence, available, and if the hon. Member thinks it of importance and desires to move for it I shall not oppose it. There are no funds at the disposal of the Government for the purpose of repairing the quay mentioned.
