§ MR. BARRIETo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the proposed Bill to amend the Irish Fishery Laws has been prepared by the Salmon and Trout Association (England), and submitted to the Irish fishery authority; will he state what are the views of such authority in regard to the provisions of this Bill; and will he undertake to introduce it this session.
§ (Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Bill to which the Question refers has been submitted to the Department of Agriculture, who are of opinion that, with certain modifications, it might be made the basis of a measure to amend the Irish Fishery Laws. In the present state of public business I am unable to say anything as to the possibility of introducing, during this session, any Irish legislation not already announced.
