§ Mr. KEATINGasked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland), whether his attention had been drawn to the action of Mr. Tighe in connection with the Salmon Fisheries on the River Nore; and whether he would see that the Fisheries Acts are strictly observed?
§ Mr. T. W. RUSSELLNo complaint has been recently received by the Department in this matter. If the hon. Member will furnish me with particulars I will have inquiry made.
§ Mr. JOYCEIs not the complaint in this case that one end of the net is fast to the shore, and thus it becomes a fixed engine, which is against the Act of Parliament? Will further inquiries be made, and, if it is found that this gentleman is fishing with a fixed engine, which is illegal, will the law be enforced?
§ Mr. T. W. RUSSELLThat is what I mean by making inquiry.
