Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Landings of Salmon.
Salmon fishermen are not required to state in their returns to my Department the month in which their catches were made, and I can, therefore, give particulars as to catches on an annual basis only. I am not yet in a position, however, to give information regarding the catches for the year 1950, but as regards the years 1948 and 1949 the information available is as follows:—
