§ Mr. MOOREasked the Chief Secretary if his attention has been drawn to the recent proceedings at the meetings of the Dublin Corporation culminating in disorder and personal assaults; and if, in the interests of the ratepayers, the Local Government Board will proceed by sealed order to prevent the municipal business of the corporation being brought to a deadlock.
§ Mr. JEREMIAH MacVEAGHBefore the right hon. Gentleman answers that question, may I ask whether his attention has also been called to the scene of disorder last week on the Unionist Benches in this House?
§ Mr. BIRRELLIn answer to the question on the Paper, I have seen a newspaper report of the proceedings referred to. The Local Government Board have no power to interfere in the matter.
