HC Deb 23 March 1911 vol 23 cc765-6W
Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

asked the Chief Secretary, whether he is aware that, recently, the sergeant of police at Broadford, in the county of Limerick, forbade the publicans there to give drink to travellers when attending hurling and football matches or funerals, and that a couple of Sundays ago they were not allowed to supply any drink, though persons travelled over three miles to a hurling match there; whether, if this be denied by the sergeant, he will direct a local inquiry into the matter so that the publicans may get an opportunity of vouching for its accuracy, or take any other steps that he may think necessary?

Mr. BIRRELL

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to a similar question asked on the 16th instant by the hon. Member for North Cork.
