Mr. Donnellan
All fishing rights in the hands of the Land Commission in East Galway which have been let for a term, including the present year, have been let on the basis of competitive tenders following advertisement. There is no question of changing the policy in regard to the making of such lettings and none of the fishing rights in question have been handed over to fishery boards as stated in the question.
