§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)To ask Mr. Attorney-General for Ireland whether he can state under what statute proceedings can be taken against the owner of a cart in Ireland who affixes his name in Irish to the cart.
(Answered by Mr. Atkinson.) The statute is 14 and 15 Vic., cap. 92, section 12 (1). The offence is not for having the name in Irish on the cart, but for using the vehicle without having the owner's name and address legibly painted thereon. This has been interpreted by the High Court to mean that the name and address must be in English characters.
