§ 31. Mr. WEDGWOODasked whether any of the Dublin employers who enjoyed police protection during the labour dispute paid any portion of the cost of those extra police; and, if so, how much?
§ Mr. BIRRELLNo portion of the cost of the police engaged in the protection of employers during the recent labour disputes in Dublin was paid by those to whom such protection was afforded.
§ Mr. WEDGWOODIs it not usual for employers who are provided with police protection during strikes to pay part of the cost?
§ Mr. BIRRELLNo. I am not aware of it.
