HC Deb 31 July 1911 vol 29 c160W
Mr. FETHERSTONHAUGH

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether, in view of the objection of the inhabitants of the townships of Clontarf, Fairview, Drumcondra, and Kilmainham to the legislation of the Sunday drink traffic from which they have enjoyed exemption for over thirty years, he will abandon Clause 4 of the Dublin Police Bill, which proposes to allow the opening of public-houses on Sunday afternoons, a proposal which is objectionable to a seaside district like Clontarf adjacent to a large city?

Mr. BIRRELL

The retention of Clause 4 in the Bill is a matter for the Committee and the House.
