§ 6. Mr. KINGasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that on the 2nd July two Press telegrams, one addressed to the "Herald," of London, and another to an Irish paper, the "Kerryman," were handed in at Cahirciveen, these telegrams referring to the arrest of Denis Daly; that the Irish newspaper message was never delivered, and that the London newspaper received its telegram; whether this was due to action by the Irish Censor; and whether it is the Censor's policy to let England but not Ireland know the news which is chiefly of interest to Irishmen?
§ Mr. SHORTTI am informed by the Press Censor that the Press telegrams addressed to the two newspapers referred to were received in his office on 2nd July, at 4.40 p.m., were passed and dispatched to the Central Telegraph Office at 4.45 p.m. The action was not, therefore, due to the Press Censor, nor is such action his policy.
