§ MR. BOLANDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant 1824 of Ireland whether the Report of the inquiry as to the necessity for a brand for Irish-cured fish has just been presented; what were the conclusions arrived at, and will the Report and the evidence taken be published.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe evidence taken at the local inquiries referred to is being printed, and there will be no objection to its publication. No Report on the evidence has yet been made, nor have definite conclusions been arrived at. The Department of Agriculture will give full consideration to the evidence, and will consider the question of publishing a report on the matter.
