asked the Minister for Fisheries whether he will appoint a Commission to inquire into the unsatisfactory state of the sea-fishing industry in the Saorstát with a view to its establishment on a sound basis; and, if so, whether he can indicate the probable date of setting up such Commission, and its terms of reference.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - CONDITION OF SEA-FISHING INDUSTRY.
I have decided to set up such a Commission as the Deputy refers to in his question and am at present considering the terms of reference and the personnel.
Will the Minister see that all Parties in this House are represented on this Commission?
So far as I have at present thought over the matter, there will be no Deputies on the Committee at all.
Will the Minister see that all interests concerned in the fishing industry are represented on the Commission?
When I say that I am at the moment considering the personnel, that is exactly what is in my mind.
