HC Deb 13 June 1901 vol 95 cc292-3
MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland by whose authority did a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary at Camp, county Kerry, on Sunday, 19th May, while members were being enrolled in the local branch of the United Irish League, take the names of those who joined, and is he aware that this constable on being asked to desist refused to do so.

MR. WYNDHAM

The constable acted without authority. His sergeant ordered him to desist, and he did so.

CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what the constable did with the names?

MR. WYNDHAM

No, Sir.
