§ MR. KENDAL O'BRIENTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state the need for continuing police protection to Denis Connolly, of Borrisnoe, parish of Bourney, County Tipperary, in view of the peaceable condition of this district; is this man constantly attended by two policemen; and will he state the circumstances under which protection was given to him in the first instance.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The police authorities inform me that it is the fact that this district is now in a peaceable condition, but that it is still considered necessary to give constant police protection in the case referred to. I understand that some local feeling still exists against Connolly, owing to proceedings in which he gave evidence some years ago.
