§ Dr. AMBROSEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that a whaling station has been established on the island of Inishkea, off the coast of Mayo, and that it is now proposed to establish a second one at Ardelly Point, Blacksod Bay, a short distance from the former one; is he aware that whaling stations have been removed from the shores of Norway on the grounds that they are injurious to the fishing industry and a nuisance to society; that no two stations are allowed to be established within 50 miles of one another in Canada; that they have been removed from Shetland on the
1234Wsame grounds; and that the company have been prevented from establishing a station on the coast of Donegal; and whether, in view of the unanimous resolution passed by the Mayo County Council at their meeting on the 11th instant protesting against the establishment of whaling stations off the coast of Mayo, he will see that the opinions of the elected representatives of the people of Mayo are respected?
§ Mr. T. W. RUSSELLI would refer the hon. Member to my replies to the questions on the same subject asked by the hon. Member for North Fermanagh on the 23rd instant, to which I have nothing to add.
