§ MR. FLYNNI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, is he aware that, on the occasion of the monthly meetings of the Shandrum (County Cork) Branch of the United Irish League, two constables stood in front of the League meeting rooms taking the names of those who enterednd,; a whether, in view of the condition of the district, he will state the reason for this action of the Constabulary.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe hon. Member has not been correctly informed. The police visit this village to prevent any breaches of the Licensing Acts, and the inference that they act in the manner suggested is due to the fact that the licensed houses and the meeting place of the League are in close proximity. The names of persons entering the latter are not taken.
