asked the Minister for Agriculture if he is yet in a position to state when it is proposed to publish the report of the Commission of Inquiry into Inland Fisheries.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Report of Fisheries Commission.
The report in question is still under consideration, and I am not yet able to indicate a date by which it will be made available to Deputies.
Could the Minister say if the statement recently made by the Chairman of the Commission may be taken as any indication of what is contained in the report?
Dr. Ryan
I prefer not to make any statement. It is better for all concerned to await publication of the report, and the decision of the Government on the report.
In view of the alarm created in fishery areas by reason of the Chairman's statement, would the Minister undertake to expedite publication of the report?
Dr. Ryan
Yes.
