HC Deb 24 June 1861 vol 163 c1483
MAJOR GAVIN

said, he rose to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether his attention has been called to a riot that took place on the 14th inst. in the village of Pallaskerry, in the county of Limerick, caused by the posting of a placard alleged to be offensive to the religious feelings of the people of that village; and whether he will take steps to prevent a repetition of conduct which may be calculated to excite angry feelings?

MR. CARDWELL

said, he understood that, by the exertions of the Roman Catholic clergymen, the excitement which existed among the people had been calmed, and that peace was entirely restored. The Protestant clergyman had on his part undertaken not to repeat the publication of the placard which had produced the excitement.
