WEST COAST OF IRELAND (PATROL).

HC Deb 08 May 1918 vol 105 c2174W

Mr. HOUSTON

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the West Coast of Ireland is being patrolled by British coastguards?

Mr. PRETYMAN

The West Coast of Ireland is being patrolled by British coastguards—amongst whom, of course, are included a certain number of Irishmen who joined the Royal Navy as boys. They are assisted by civilian coast-watchers, who are local men.
