I am advised by the Foyle Fisheries Commission that it is not possible to give precisely the information sought in the first part of the question: the £12 drift net licence once issued is available for fishing in any part of the Lough or of the open sea. Of the 79 persons issued with £12 drift net licences for 1965, 49 are residents of County Donegal and 30 are residents of Counties Derry, Down or Tyrone. Of the latter 27 live in Derry city or Culmore.
