§ 75. Major W. GUINNESSasked the Home Secretary whether last week National Volunteers were parading armed in the Dublin streets; whether, these Volunteers wear the same uniform as the Sinn Fein Volunteers; and by what means the authorities can distinguish between the two forces?
Mr. SAMUELThe reply to the first and second parts of the question is in the negative. The characteristics other than uniform distinguishing these forces were explained in reply to a question asked by the hon. and gallant Member for Enfield on the 27th January last.
§ Major GUINNESSWas not such a parade of National Volunteers held in Lad Lane, Lower Bagot Street, Dublin, last Monday week?
Mr. SAMUELI will inquire of the Irish Government, but I am informed that the allegations in the first part of the question is unfounded.
