§ MR. BOLANDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Congested Districts Board has had under consideration for more than a year an insurance scheme for fishing boats; is he now in a position to say what decision has been arrived at; and, if so, in view of the approach of the spring fishing season, what steps should be taken by the fishermen to avail themselves of the scheme.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe preparation of a scheme has necessitated careful consideration and inquiries. A draft of a proposed scheme will come before the Board at its next meeting, when it is expected that any unsettled questions will be disposed of.
