7 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the fact that Annagh Island in Lough Conn is a much favoured habitat for wild geese during the winter and spring months; that the owner of the island has it preserved as a sanctuary for wildfowl and has prohibited all shooting; that the great numbers of wild geese coming to the island and eating the grass curtails the value of the 60 acres as farming land; and if he will consider making a contribution from his Department by way of fertiliser as was done in the past in order to encourage the maintenance of the island as a sanctuary.
