HC Deb 16 April 1889 vol 335 c610
MR. JOHN O'CONNOR (Tipperary, S.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether during the month of March two telegrams were addressed to Father M'Fadden while he was in the custody of the Government; whether one of these telegrams was from Father Collins, P.P., Rathmullan, and written in the Latin language, and the other from Father O'Donnell, C.C., Rathmullan, and written in the Irish language; and whether these telegrams were delivered to Father M'Fadden; and, if not, why they were retained by the officials?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I have not received the information that will enable me to answer the question. I may add that there are three or four questions which only appeared on the Paper to-day.

MR. J. O'CONNOR

Is it possible to obtain the information before the close of the proceedings to-day?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

It is possible. I have telegraphed to Dublin for information in all these cases; but I have not yet received it.
