HC Deb 09 August 1883 vol 282 cc2115-6
MR. SEXTON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, Whether there is any truth in the report that a pleasure excursion, which had been organized several weeks ago by working men's clubs and other associations, for the purpose of visiting Mr. Charles Stewart Parnell's estate in Wicklow on Sunday next, has been prohibited, or is intended to be prohibited, by the authorities; and, if so, on what ground?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, the Government have taken no action with reference to the proposed excursion. It is stated, however, in to-day's Freeman's Journal, that the excursion has been abandoned, owing to some difference between the promoters and the Railway Company.
