§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)I bag to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the fact that the Congested Districts Board for Scotland has acquired an experimental motor fishing boat; and whether the Congested Districts Board for Ireland or the fisheries branch of the Department of Agriculture will undertake similar experiments.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WALTER LONG, Bristol, S.)It is understood that motor fishing boats have not, so far, proved satisfactory in Great Britain. The Irish Departments referred to consider it desirable, therefore, to await the result of the experiment now being conducted by the Congested Districts Board for Scotland.
