HC Deb 11 May 1869 vol 196 cc573-4
COLONEL FORDE

said, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, If the report be true of a meeting having taken place in the City of Cork, at which banners and colours were displayed; and whether the opinion of the Irish Law Officers has been taken, or is intended to be taken, by the Government, as to how far this was a breach of the Party Processions Act?

MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE

No report, Sir, of the occurrence in question has yet reached me. But upon seeing the Question of the hon. and gallant Member I immediately called for a Report, and I expect to receive it in a day or two.
