§ Mr. T. P. O'CONNOR(by Private Notice) asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he has yet been able to discover the authors of the incendiary fires in Granard by which many houses were destroyed; whether these incendiary 1190 fires in the case of the houses of Sinn Feiners were started by the Sinn Feiners themselves, and in the case of the houses of Unionists by Unionists themselves; if not by either of these two classes, by whom were they started?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODAs I stated yesterday, the police have been unable to discover the persons responsible for these fires, but they are pursuing their inquiries, and meantime I cannot express any opinion as to the classes to which the persons in question belong.
