HC Deb 08 March 1917 vol 91 cc588-9W
Mr. REDDY

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, whether orders have been given to Sergeant Maguire, of Shannon-bridge, King's County, to stand in the gateway of the chapel every Sunday armed with a stick and obstruct the congregation on their way out from mass; if so, by whom have such orders been given; and, if no such orders have been given, can the district inspector find a sphere of activity more suited to Sergeant Maguire's activities on Sundays?

Mr. DUKE

No such orders have been given, and I have no reason to suppose that any such thing takes place.
