HC Deb 15 August 1919 vol 119 c1798W
Mr. MacVEAGH

asked the Attorney-General for Ireland whether the Department of Agriculture will arrange that the line in Dundrum Bay within which trawling is forbidden will be made the limit for seine nets, inasmuch as the seine nets destroy fish in the same way as trawling?

Mr. DENIS HENRY

The prohibition of seine netting in any part of Dundrum Bay can only be brought about by legislation or by a by-law made after due public inquiry and approved by His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant in Council. The Department have under consideration the advisability of holding such an inquiry.
