HC Deb 10 July 1890 vol 346 c1313
MR. SHEIL (Meath, S.)

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether he is aware that the emergency men occupying the house of Miss N. Kieran, of Castletown, Navan, County Meath, are in the habit of indulging in revolver practice beneath the windows of the house; that besides the lady named above two others dwell in it, one of whom is so ill that it is impossible to remove her, and that her life has been seriously endangered; and whether he will take steps to put an end to this conduct of the emergency men?

MR. MADDEN

The Constabulary Authorities report that the facts are not accurately stated in the question. On one occasion only did one of the caretakers referred to discharge his revolver. His object is stated to have been to frighten some crows from a field of potatoes under his charge.
