HC Deb 15 August 1881 vol 264 cc1920-1
VISCOUNT CRICHTON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he is aware that great dissatisfaction exists in Ireland at the narrow and limited nature of the inquiry made into the circumstances attending the death by poisoning of Mr. Hone in Limerick; and, whether he will cause steps to be taken to have a further and more searching investigation set on foot?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. LAW)

, in reply, said, his right hon. and learned Friend the Member for the University of Dublin (Mr. Gibson) had given Notice of a Question to him on the same subject, and, therefore, in reply both to the Question of the noble Viscount and that of his right hon. and learned Friend, he had to say that he had called for a Re-port into the circumstances attending the unhappy occurrence referred to. Until he had received the Report in question he could not say what course would be taken.
