§ MR. BOLANDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is now in a position to state what steps, if any, will be taken to give the Fishery Department power to hold inquiries with the object of changing the close seasons where necessary.
MR. BRYCEI informed the hon. Member early in the session that I thought some legislation on this subject desirable; but I am not yet in a position to say when it may be possible to introduce such legislation.
