MR. T. P. O'CONNOR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he is aware that Mr. Cunningham of Loughrea, who has been imprisoned under the Coercion Act, and now lies in Dundalk Gaol on the charge of meeting to murder presumably the man Dempsey, is a relative of the murdered man?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

, in reply, said, he was informed that Mr. Cunningham, who was now in Dundalk Gaol, was a second cousin of the man Dempsey. The warrant for his arrest stated that he was suspected of inciting to murder. He might remind the hon. Member that there hed been three bad murders lately in the Loughrea district.
