Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fisheries of Ireland It would take me long to do it justice, but I will give you an idea of what the country is losing. In page 4 - "Herring Fisheries," 1882-statistics have been taken from the following places only: - Howth, Ark-low, Kinsale, Greenore, Ardglass, Omeath, and Warrenpoint, Kilkeel, Amalong, Courtown and Balbriggan, from which points were captured 70,457 mease, at a total value of £78,860. Of course you will imagine that these are scattered denominations, representing the attacks upon the herring, all round the coast of Ireland. No such thing; look at the map behind me, where I have marked them all. But, to make things worse, when I refer to the report of 1879, I that these same points are there declared to be then, as now, the only places from which regular and authentic returns can be procured! Worse again - I there find that the value taken in ´79, from these exceptionally favoured places, which make up the Irish contribution to English supply is considerably over that of 1882. Well, but what proportion of our coast do these places represent to calculate this? We must turn to the divisions, and there I find that, giving the whole possible area in which these fishings could be defined, the mileage amounts on the east coast to 223 miles, and Kinsale to 110 miles, making altogether 333 miles, leaving besides four divisions - the length of which is not given in the report - 2337 miles of coast with no return.
