§ MR. LONSDALEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether police protection is still afforded to Mr. Shaw-Tener, Mr. Frank Shawe-Taylor, and Mr. Perrse, in county Galway; and whether his official information shows that their lives would be safe if the guards were withdrawn.
MR. BRYCEI am informed by the police authorities that the reply to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. As respects the second part of the Question, that is a matter of opinion. The police, however, consider it proper to afford protection to the gentlemen named.
§ MR. REDDY (Kings County, Birr)Would the conduct of Shaw-Tener and Frank Shawe-Taylor be tolerated in any other civilised country?
