§ MR. MURPHYTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Earl of Kenmare, his agent, and other persons have prevented certain car owners and others suspected of having voted against Mr. Leonard at the recent County Council election from entering certain places of interest in Killarney that have always been open to the public; and whether he will say whether 780 he proposes to take any steps to prevent injury being inflicted on those persons for having voted as they were legally entitled to do.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) I am informed that four car drivers, who are not voters, as alleged, were refused admission to the demesne lands of Lord Kenmare for a few days, together with a number of other persons. This appears to have been done in the exercise of the private right of the owner, and is not a matter that concerns the Executive Government.
