HC Deb 25 February 1918 vol 103 c1110W
Mr. BYRNE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he is aware that the Rings-end fishermen have met with considerable losses owing to the Regulations that compel them to travel a distance of 15 miles from Dublin Bay before they are allowed to fish; if he is aware of the effect on the food supply caused by this Order; if he will take steps to have the Order withdrawn; and if he is aware of the dangers 15 miles from Dublin?

Mr. DUKE

The Regulation referred to was made in the public interest by the Admiralty authorities, and I have no evidence that it is having the consequences suggested in the question.
