asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he is aware that the Rings-end fishermen have met with considerable losses owing to the Regulations that compel them to travel a distance of 15 miles from Dublin Bay before they are allowed to fish; if he is aware of the effect on the food supply caused by this Order; if he will take steps to have the Order withdrawn; and if he is aware of the dangers 15 miles from Dublin?
