§ MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he is aware that certain persons representing the Military authorities have been visiting a number of sheep farmers residing on the Imaal Mountains, county of Wicklow, and have informed those farmers that their lands are required for an artillery range; and whether the Military authorities have decided to disturb a number of the inhabitants of the Imaal Mountains, and take their lands for an artillery range?
MR. POWELL-WILLIAMSThe Field Marshal commanding in Ireland has been making inquiries about artillery ranges, and among others, Glen Imaal has been inspected. No decision has been come to on the subject, and if there is any disturbance in connection with a range, full compensation will be given.
