§ MR. MOONEY (Dublin County, S.)I beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General for Ireland if the police have yet identified the person or persons who have tampered with the requisition forms in the Rath-mines polling district of South County Dublin; and, if so, will he direct a prosecution to take place.
§ THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.This matter has received my careful attention. I am awaiting sonic further information from the police before issuing instructions.
§ MR. MOONEYwas understood to ask if it were not a fact that last week the identity of these men was satisfactorily established to the inspector of police. Was nothing being done in the matter?
§ MR. ATKINSONI am expecting a further report.
§ MR. MOONEYI will raise the matter later on.
§ MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)inquired if the right of certain persons to exercise the franchise did not hang upon action being taken within the next two days.
§ MR. ATKINSONI can assure the hon. Member that immediately I get the report I am expecting I shall take the necessary action.
