HC Deb 20 February 1866 vol 181 cc815-6
MR. S. B. MILLER

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Why the county and city of Armagh have been proclaimed under the Peace Preservation Act, without the inland portion of the county of Louth, which adjoins the county Armagh to a large extent, being at the same time proclaimed; and whether there is any intention of proclaiming the county of Louth, or the portion of it above referred to?

MR. SULLIVAN

said, in the absence of his right hon. and learned Friend the Attorney General for Ireland, he could state that it was intended to proclaim the sea-coast of Louth in order to prevent the importation of arms, but no reason existed for ploclaiming the remainder of the county.
