HC Deb 05 June 1907 vol 175 c687
Captain CRAIG

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that on Thursday night, 23rd May, the house of Daniel Malony, in the Broadford district, county Clare, was fired into; have any arrests been made; and is it the intention of the Government to afford this man adequate protection.

Mr. BIRRELL

Two men have been arrested upon the charge mentioned in the Question, and the proceedings are pending. The police have taken adequate measures for Malony's protection.

Captain DONELAN (Cork, E.)

In connection with all these Questions, may I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether, outside the alleged trifling assault on a process server, anybody has suffered the slightest personal injury?

Mr. BIRRELL

I do not know.
