HC Deb 17 June 1901 vol 95 c564
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will inquire into the position of the fishing industry in the neighbourhood of Ballyvaughan, county Clare; and whether he will see that something is done to assist the fishermen of that district.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM, Dover)

The fishing industry in the neighbourhood of Ballyvaughan has been for some time the subject of inquiry by the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction, and it is hoped that it may be possible materially to develop it.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

Cannot the right hon. Gentleman hold out some hope that something will soon be done in the matter?

MR. WYNDHAM

I do hold out that hope.
