§ DR. TANNERI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether any reply has been given to the representations forwarded by the Shannon fishermen of Limerick to the Inspectors of Irish Fisheries many months ago, in which the fishermen complain of certain byelaws which they seek to have altered; and whether any investigation of the case will be made, or any public inquiry thereinto held?
§ MR. JACKSONThe Inspectors of Fisheries have received a memorial from certain representative fishermen praying that a bye-law be made permitting the use of nets of greater length than is at present allowed in the River Shannon. The Inspectors propose to hold an inquiry into these matters as soon as practicable.
