HC Deb 15 March 1889 vol 333 c1806
MR. LANE (Cork Co., E.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether any informations were sworn indicating a probable disturbance of the peace in the town of Youghal upon any one of the anniversaries of the death of O'Hanlon; if there were, would he lay them upon the Table of the House; and, if not, would he state upon whose application those large bodies of extra police were sent to Youghal?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I have not had time to obtain a report on the subject, but the hon. Member must be aware that the police do not require a sworn information before taking precautions they may think necessary for the preservation of the public peace.
