HC Deb 30 July 1902 vol 112 cc136-7
MR. MOONEY (Dublin Co., S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware of the fact that during the recent elections under the Local Government Act, a meeting was held in Rathfarnham (County Dublin) petty sessions court by the Conservatives, in furtherance of the candidature of Colonel Hercules Rowley, of Marley Grange, Rathfarnham; and will he state what steps, if any, were taken by the authorities to prevent a political meeting of this kind from being held in the court-house.

MR. WYNDHAM

I am informed that Colonel Rowley was not a candidate at the elections referred to, and that no meeting was held by Conservatives in the court house on the occasion.
