MR. WILLIAMREDMOND (Clare, E.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Irish Technical Department will instruct the Shannon Hoard of Conservators, known as the Limerick Board of Conservators, to discontinue the practice of employing as water bailiffs persons who had previously been prosecuted, convicted, and fined by the Killaloe Bench of Magistrates for illegal fishing.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) Water bailiffs are appointed by the local boards of conservators, and the Department exercises no control in the matter. I am inquiring, however, as to the matters of fact alleged in the Question.
