§ Mr. T. M. HEALYasked the Prime Minister if at the Coachford Show, county 1038W Cork, the prohibition of Gaelic dancing competitions amongst children was enforced under martial law; and, if Irish r dancing is illegal, would General Maxwell allow the Pyrrhic dances or nautch dancing?
§ The PRIME MINISTERGeneral Max-well informs me that the police have been instructed to grant applications for permission to hold these competitions unless there are exceptional circumstances which make it undesirable. He has no knowledge of the particular case referred to by my hon. and learned Friend, but will make inquiries. The second part of the question does not arise.
