§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland on what grounds the English Government in Ireland, discriminate between individuals in carrying on the lawful industry by which they live; why, for example, has Mr. Maurice O'Connell, Renard Road, Cahirciveen, been refused a permit to carry on his industry of fishing in his boat "St. Fiacri," in which his money is invested, while permits have been given to other boat owners in the same district; and whether a permit will now be given or compensation paid for the loss occasioned by refusal of it?
§ Mr. DUKEThe issue of permits for fishing vessels is regulated by the Admiralty. I am informed that the Vice-Admiral Commanding (Coast of Ireland) is unable to countersign a Permit for Mr. Maurice O'Connell's fishing vessel.
