HC Deb 02 April 1900 vol 81 cc950-1
MR. FLYNN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state by whose orders and on what grounds, on the occasions of the meetings of the United Irish League, held once a week in Doneraile, County Cork, of which Rev. J. M. Callaghan is president, a policeman stations himself at the entrance to the place of meeting and takes note of each individual entering.

MR. ATKINSON (for Mr. G. W. BALFOUR)

This question is apparently based on a newspaper report dated the 27th instant. The statement in the question is absolutely devoid of foundation.

MR. FLYNN

It is founded on the rev. gentleman's own complaint.

MR. ATKINSON

Then he is entirely in error.
