§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he will state the offence for which Mr. Eamonn Waldron has been ordered by the military authorities to leave Ireland, excepting the county of Waterford; whether the county of Water-ford is to be excluded from Ireland under the next settlement by partition; and whether he is advised by any person acquainted with Ireland that suppression of the language by military force is likely to facilitate a settlement?
§ Mr. DUKEThe competent military authority in Ireland has decided, under the Defence of the Realm Regulations, to prohibit Mr. Waldron from residing in or entering county Clare or any other part of Ireland except the county of Waterford. I am informed that his being a teacher of Gaelic was not the ground of this decision.
