§ Mr. GILHOOLYasked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) whether, seeing that the Crown brand has been so advantageous to the cured herring industry, he will have it extended to cured mackerel?
§ Mr. RUSSELLThe question of a brand for Irish cured mackerel was thoroughly gone into by the Department in the year 1907, and a Report was published giving the result of the inquiries then held. It any fresh information comes under the notice of the Department indicating that a Crown brand for cured mackerel could be advantageously introduced, and would be availed of by the trade, the Department would be prepared to reconsider the matter without delay.
