HC Deb 15 February 1895 vol 30 c823
MR. J. C. FLYNN (Cork, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has yet received the memorials on behalf of the mackerel curers of Cork and Kerry, asking for the appointment of a responsible Government Inspector who shall be qualified to judge of the quality of the cured fish, and also asking that a Government brand should be applied to Irish-cured mackerel; and, whether in view of the importance of developing this important industry, the Government will accede to the request of the memorialists?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. MORLEY,) Newcastle-upon-Tyne

I fear I cannot, at present, add anything to the reply given by me yesterday to the similar questions on this subject.
