§ MR. DUFFY (Galway, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Mr. Thomas Keighrey, of Closetoken, Loughrea, is a tenant purchaser of £40 worth of land yearly, a district councillor, a miller, and a large employer of labour; whether he is aware that Mr. Keighrey's farm is haunted by flocks of crows, magpies, and other vermin; and whether his application to carry a gun on his own holding for the protection of his crops was granted; and, if not, will he explain the reason.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) I beg to refer the hon. Member to the Answer which I gave to the similar Question put by the hon. Member for East Galway on Thursday last,‡ in which I stated that the Irish Government did not think that the matter was one which required the interference of the Irish Government.
