HC Deb 07 May 1894 vol 24 cc466-7
MR. MACARTNEY (Antrim, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on the 22nd of April Father Duuphy, P.P., in the course of his sermon dwelt forcibly on the baneful effects of the cursed vice of land-grabbing, and also referred to certain cases in his district; and whether any Report on this matter has been made by the Constabulary?

MR. J. MORLEY

A report of what took place on the occasion referred to was published in a local newspaper, and the police inform me that this report is fairly accurate.

MR. MACARTNEY

Will the Police Authorities take steps to protect the persons thus named?

MR. J. MORLEY

The hon. Member may rest assured that every care is taken to protect anyone who is supposed to be in any danger.

MR. T. W. RUSSELL

In what parish did this occur?

MR. J. MORLEY

In the county of Waterford, I believe.
