CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - BANDON FISHING SEASON.

asked the Minister for Fisheries if he has received representations from the net fishermen on the River Bandon, County Cork, requesting that the season should be opened on February 1st of each year and close at an earlier date than August 15th; whether he has considered such representations, and whether he is willing to alter the opening and closing dates of the season for the year 1928.

A memorial from the Bandon net fishermen was handed in at the public inquiry held by my Department last April. This inquiry was directed solely to the question of the close season for rods. If there is sufficient evidence of a demand for an inquiry into the close season for nets, I will be prepared to direct the holding of such an inquiry.
