HC Deb 04 May 1995 vol 259 cc299-300W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will arrange the inquiry reports, by(a) the Irish Football Association, (b) Judge Finlay, (c) the Irish police and (d) all other relevant reports by English and Irish authorities into public disorder at the England v. Ireland football match in Dublin in February, to be placed in the Library; if he will list the main recommendations for action contained in these reports; and if he will make a statement. [22327]

Mr. Maclean

[holding answer 2 May 1995]: I understand that a copy of the report "Violence at Lansdowne Road" by Mr. Justice Thomas Finlay will be available shortly in the Library. It is for the relevant Irish authorities to decide whether to make their other corresponding reports publicly available. In respect of the report of the English Football Association I refer the hon. member to my written answer of 22 March, Official Report, column 199.
