MR. C. MACVEIGH (Donegal, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to a resolution passed by the County Donegal Committee of Agriculture on the 5th instant protesting against the by-law proposed by the Agricultural Department; and, if so, will he state what steps he proposes to take to protect the fishermen's rights from being restricted in the way complained of.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe resolution referred to has been received The proposed by-law against which it protests will shortly be submitted for the approval of the Lord-Lieutenant in Council, and any person can there appeal against its provisions. I do not propose to take any steps to anticipate the decision of the Council, who will doubtless give full consideration to all the circumstances of the case.
