Kerry, has not been made operative; that on Saturday, the 21st May, 1932, the Gárda Síochána visited the district and captured portion of fishing gear, and if, in view of the hardship which will be caused to the fishermen in the area by the putting into operation of this bye-law he will take steps to have an inquiry held, with a view to repealing the said bye-law, and, if so, if he can state when the inquiry will be held.
