§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on the night of 11th April damage to the nets of two boats, both fishing in Dingle Bay, was caused by one or more steam trawlers, and that the loss was properly reported at Caher-civeen; and, seeing that the ss. "Helga" is not able to patrol the whole coast, whether the assistance of another steamer will be given for the next two months at least, until the spring fishery is over.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) DoverThe question of providing additional protection to the Irish fisheries against the depredations of trawlers is engaging attention.
