HC Deb 15 May 1911 vol 25 c1798W
Mr. STEPHEN GWYNN

asked whether any measures had been taken to identify and punish the policeman who on Easter Monday afternoon, while riding a bicycle, ran over the son of Mr. Michael Walsh in Eyre Square, Galway, breaking the child's collar-bone?

Mr. BIRRELL

This matter was reported to the police authorities the morning after it happened, and every effort was made at once to identify the policeman concerned, but so far without success. It is only right to add that so far as can be ascertained the affair was accidental, and that the child who was picked up by the policeman was apparently uninjured. It was only in the evening when examined by the doctor that its collar-bone was found to be broken.
