HC Deb 03 August 1898 vol 15 c1202
MR. DANE

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is now in possession of the particulars relating to the organised attacks made by mobs from the County Leitrim, upon Sunday the 23rd July, upon persons attending Gospel Mission Services, and also the service at the parish church of the Church of Ireland, at Bundoran, in the County Donegal; have any persons been made amenable; and what steps have been taken to prevent a renewal of such attacks?

MR. J. MORLEY

I have received a special Report of all the facts connected with the disturbance referred to. Three persons have been summoned for assaults committed, and the eases will be heard at Ballyshannon Petty Sessions on the 10th instant. The police have taken all necessary steps to prevent a renewal of the disturbance; and I am happy to say that, although the services have been held daily since July 23, there has been no attempt at renewal of these disturbances, and that everything has passed off quietly.
