HC Deb 24 October 1912 vol 42 c2385W
Mr. FETHERSTONHAUGH

asked the Chief Secretary whether it is his intention before Christmas to proceed with the Dublin Police Bill to extend Sunday trade in intoxicating drink to Druncondra, Fairview, and Clontarf, which have for nearly forty years had Sunday closing?

Mr. BIRRELL

Having regard to the state of public business, it is obvious that unless there is a general feeling in favour of the Bill it cannot be proceeded with before Christmas.
