HC Deb 21 April 1913 vol 52 c40
89. Mr. KELLY

asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) whether he is aware that a fixed net has been used for a number of years on the River Finn at Cloghan, county Donegal, for netting salmon, in contravention of the by-laws; and will he say what action will be taken to ensure the observance in future of such by-laws?

Mr. RUSSELL

The Department are not aware that any net is used illegally at the place referred to in the question; but they will call the attention of the local board of conservators, who are responsible for the enforcement of the salmon fishery laws, to the matter.
