§ MR. JOHN O'CONNOR) (Tipperary, S.I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether his attention has been called to the report published in the Glasgow Evening Citizen of an interview which purports to have been held between its special reporter in Tipperary and District Inspector Gamble; whether District Inspector Gamble refused to inform Father Humphries, when asked by him, whether the report of the interview was corrector not; and whether it is usual or in accordance with the Rules of the Irish Police Service that officers of that body should grant interviews to newspaper reporters?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN,) Dublin UniversityI must ask the hon. Member to postpone this and also another question which appears in his name.
§ MR. J. O'CONNORMay I be allowed to say that these arc matters, relating as they do to police watching, which are of very great importance. There are proceedings now going on which I believe to be endangering the public peace, and I think that some effort should be made by the Department to obtain the information I ask for. I will postpone the question until to-morrow. I cannot allow it to stand over longer.
