Vol. 136 No. 15

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Employment for Mayo Fishermen.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if he is aware that thereis a fishing pier in a very good state of repair at Lacken, Ballina; and, if so, if he proposes to take steps to develop the sea-fishing industry there to provide employment for the poor people of this area.

I would refer the Deputy to my reply to his question on 10th July, 1952, when I suggested that any fishermen in the Lacken area who need financial assistance in procuring fishing equipment or help in disposing of their catches to the best advantage might communicate with An Bord lascaigh Mhara.
