asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will state whether it is his intention to revoke by-law No. 458 to allow fishermen to fish in that portion of the Erne Estuary in which fishing for salmon is prohibited by this by-law.

A careful watch is being kept by my Department upon the position with regard to netting operations in the estuary of the river Erne. I shall be quite prepared to consider modification, to the most desirable extent, of the by-law in question, as soon as that can be done without prospective injury to the salmon stock of the river.
