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.

  • Arthur's Way Heritage Trail
    HERITAGE TRAIL Arthur’s Way is a heritage trail across northeast County Kildare that follows in the footsteps of Arthur Guinness. In just 16 km, it links many of the historic sites associated with Ireland’s most famous brewers – the Guinness family. Visitors are invited to explore Celbridge - where Arthur spent his childhood, Leixlip - the site of his first brewery and Oughterard graveyard - Arthur’s final resting place near his ancestral home. The trail rises gently from the confluence of the Liffey and Rye rivers at Leixlip to the Palladian Castletown House estate and onto Celbridge. It then departs the Liffey Valley to join the Grand Canal at Hazelhatch. The grassy towpaths guide visitors past beautiful flora and fauna and the enchanting Lyons Estate. At Ardclough, the route finally turns for Oughterard which offers spectacular views over Kildare, Dublin and the Province of Leinster. R o yaal l C a MAAYNOOTHYNOOTH nnala l R .
