§ MR. HEALYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Why Government placards are posted upon the bridges of Dublin contrary to Law; and, who is responsible for thus defacing the pillars of those structures?
§ MR. TREVELYANSir, I am informed that on one occasion within the last year placards were posted on the bridges by the men employed by the bill poster. The police, however, took them down, and steps have been taken to prevent this from occurring again.
§ MR. HEALYAllow me to say that the right hon. Gentleman is thoroughly inaccurate in his statement. ["Order, order!"]
§ MR. SPEAKERThe hon. Member is not entitled to argue the matter. He may ask a Question.
§ MR. HEALYWell, I beg to ask the right hon. Gentleman, Whether on the 23rd of November last Mr. Hamilton's proclamation of a meeting to be held in Dublin was not posted on the Dublin bridges, and bridges in London, Westminster Bridge for instance, were not allowed to be defaced in this manner?
§ MR. TREVELYANProbably the occasion referred to was in November, 1883.
