§ Mr. CHARLES CRAIGasked the Chief Secretary whether his attention has been called to a statement made by Mr. Justice Wright, at the spring assizes for county Galway, to the effect that until the activities of certain secret or powerful organisations in the county were diminished or checked it was hopeless to expect any improvements in the condition of certain lawless areas; and whether he proposes to take any steps against such organisations in county Galway so as to bring about an improvement in the condition of the county?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI have seen a newspaper report of the learned judge's statement. The police are doing their best to prevent the commission of offences, and to deal with all persons who break the law individually or collectively.
