§ 51. Mr. J. P. FARRELLasked whether it is proposed to prohibit the sale in Ireland of three-year-old Irish whisky; in what way this will help to free tonnage for other commerce; whether this means practically the closing of all local public-houses in Ireland; and whether, seeing that the Government in the past got the major portion of their taxes from this trade, compensation of any kind will be given to publicans?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The remaining part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
