§ MR. MURPHY (Kerry, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that an international boat race between Pennsylvania University and Dublin University will take place next July on the Lakes of Killarney, and if, in view of the fact that this event will cause a number of visitors from America and other countries to visit Killarney, he will give directions to the police authorities at Queenstown and elsewhere to desist from asking the names and examining the persons and luggage of such visitors under the pretext of searching for arms.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM, Dover)Passengers arriving at Queenstown are politely invited by a member of the constabulary to give their names and destination. The practice has existed for many years, and the information has invariably been freely and cheerfully given by passengers. The action of the police causes no inconvenience to visitors. The police do not examine the persons or luggage of passengers.
§ MR. FLAVIN (Kerry, N.)Are tourists in Ireland bound to give their names? I hope they will not.
