HC Deb 04 August 1893 vol 15 cc1344-5
MR. MAURICE HEALY () Cork

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the recent disclosures in the Dublin Police Courts as to the mischief being done by bogus clubs, he will take steps to secure the extension to Ireland of the Registration of Clubs Bill now before the House?

MR. J. MORLEY

My attention has been drawn to the subject. I have not had time to examine the Clubs Registration Bill sufficiently close to enable me to say whether its provisions should be extended to Ireland. Perhaps the hon. Member will repeat the question in a week's time.

MR. T. W. RUSSELL () Tyrone, S.

Cannot these clubs be put down by a strict enforcement of the existing law?

MR. J. MORLEY

I understand that everything possible is done by the police.
