asked the Minister for Lands and Fisheries if he will introduce proposals for legislation to repeal the law fixing a close season for the taking of salmon between 6 a.m. on Saturdays and 6 a.m. on Mondays, and if in the meantime, in view of the fact that the law in this respect has not operated in Cromane, Co.
