§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDYTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether a man named Patrick Dolan was knocked down and seriously injured on the 3rd December in the fair of Dowra by a car driven by one Thomas Brady; at what hour did the occurrence take place; what speed was the car going at in the crowded street of Dowra; was Dolan rendered unconscious for two hours; what action have the police taken in the matter; and who is this Brady who drove the car.
§ (Answered by Mr. Bryce.) I am informed by the police authorities that on the occasion mentioned it was alleged that Patrick Dolan was knocked down by Thomas Brady's car when pissing through Dowra. The hour was quarter to five. The car was going at a brisk trot. Dolan was not rendered unconscious or seriously injured, but was momentarily stunned and was cut on the cheek and hand. The police did not witness the occurrence, and have no evidence that the man was knocked down by Brady's car. A crowd, which had surrounded Brady's car, was shouting and jostling at the time of the 329 accident. Brady, who is a bailiff, resides at Drumnafinla.
