HC Deb 23 July 1901 vol 97 cc1348-9
MR. FLYNN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland a question of which I have given him private notice, namely, whether he has any fresh information as to the proceedings of the police at Cork last night; is he aware that they attacked with batons a crowd of people near the railway terminus, and that a considerable number were seriously injured and taken to hospital.

MR. WYNDHAM

No, Sir. I have a telegram that an arrest was made last night, and that a full report is on its way. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will repeat the question on Thursday.

MR. JOHN REDMOND

Is it not strange that the representative of the Irish Government who is responsible for law and order should not get the information which private Members receive?

* MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!

MR. FLYNN

It was in this morning's papers.
