A Chara— I have the honour to submit a report on the Sea and Inland Fisheries of An Saorstat for the years 1923-25, and on the Rural Industries schemes in the Congested Districts for the years 1924-25. The work of co-ordinating the duties and staffs of the various bodies which were entrusted with the task of looking after the fisheries and rural industries up to the date of the establishment of this Department is the principal reason for the delay which has occurred in preparing this Report. A further reason is afforded by the necessity which existed for immediate legislation to preserve our valuable inland fisheries which were being im­ perilled during the years immediately preceding the setting up of the Department in 1923. The Report for the year 192G will be ready for publication before the close of this year. Is mise le meas mor, L. C. MORIARTY, Runaidhe. 5 REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES, 1923-25.
