§ Mr. FETHERSTONHAUGHasked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) whether the Department will consider the advisability of starting a trout and salmon hatchery on Lough Erne, the bed of which is vested in the Crown, and by restoring the once valuable fishing thereon, which would be open to all, give employment to large numbers of persons who formerly earned money as boatmen and fishermen?
§ Mr. T. W. RUSSELLThe Department are prepared to consider applications for assistance in the establishment and maintenance of salmon and trout hatcheries in any part of Ireland. No such application has been received in connection with Lough Erne.
