HC Deb 23 March 1908 vol 186 cc1097-8
MR. LONSDALE

I beg to ask the Attorney-General for Ireland if he will say upon what dates respectively did District-Inspector Preston and the Inspector General of the Royal Irish Constabulary become aware, in connection with the Glenahiery outrage, of the purchase on the 23rd July, 1907, of sixty pounds of blasting powder and sixteen feet of fuse in the shop of Mr. Kelly, of Waterford.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. CHERRY,) Liverpool, Exchange

District-Inspector Preston became aware of this purchase upon some date which he cannot precisely fix, but he thinks it was upon the 16th September, 1907. The Inspector-General was not aware of it until the 3rd October.
