HC Deb 26 July 1918 vol 108 c2158
6. Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he is aware that a meeting called by the Irish transport workers at Dungarvan to consider the question of an increase of wages was proclaimed; and if he will state whether it is the policy of the Government to proclaim meetings called by trade unions in Ireland?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND (Mr. A. Samuels)

I am informed that the secretary of the association was told that the meeting would have to be prohibited unless a permit was applied for, and he stated a permit would not be applied for and that the meeting would not be held if objected to. The answer to the latter part of the question is in the negative.
