MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been drawn to the report in the Irish Daily Independent of the 30th ultimo, of a meeting held in Limerick on Sunday, 29th ultimo, in connection with the unsatisfactory state of the Limerick Fisheries, and whether he can say when the sworn inquiry promised by the Irish Government will be held, and when the election for the two vacancies on the Board of Conservators will be held?
§ MR. JACKSONI am informed that the Inspectors of Irish Fisheries will hold an inquiry into the application of the Shannon fishermen to be permitted to use large nets at as early a date as is practicable. The Inspectors have no power to interfere with regard to the election of Conservators.
MR. P. O'BRIENThat is exactly the answer given by the Fishery Authorities two years ago, and the inquiry has not been held yet.
