§ MR. FLYNN (Cork, N. E.)In the absence of the hon. Member for SouthEast Cork, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if the Report of the Inspectors of Irish Fisheries on the inquiries recently held respecting the mackerel and herring fisheries off the south coast of Ireland has been made and forwarded to the Lord Lieutenant; and, if so, will the Local Authorities at Kinsale be supplied with copies of such Report?
MR. J. MORLEYThe Report of the Inspectors of Fisheries respecting the herring and mackerel fisheries at Kinsale has been presented to the Lord Lieutenant. The recommendations contained in the Report are under consideration; but, inasmuch as the carrying out of these recommendations would involve legislation, and as the points at issue have reference to the early season, which has almost passed over, no object would, I am advised, be gained by communicating the Report to the Local Authorities.
