26.

Mr. N. Lemass

asked the Minister for Lands what the indications are for a good pheasant shooting season.

Mr. Faulkner

I am glad to be able to inform the Deputy that despite unfavourable weather conditions this past summer, the prospects for pheasant shooting this season are in general very good, relative to previous years. This satisfactory situation is due in great part to the excellent work of the Regional Game Councils, aided by financial assistance from the Department of Lands.

(Interruptions.)

Mr. Lindsay

Will the Parliamentary Secretary say if "pheasants" includes "red herrings"?
