HC Deb 15 November 1916 vol 87 cc810-1W
Mr. LUNDON

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland on what grounds the military refused, on two different occasions, to allow special trains to be run to the games held under the auspices of the Gaelic Athletic Association at Limerick; and why the latter centre is the only one where such action on the part of the authorities has taken place?

Mr. DUKE

I am not sure of the particular occasions the hon. Member refers, but am aware that the action mentioned has been taken in various instances in the interests of public order.
