HC Deb 15 December 1919 vol 123 cc56-7W
Captain W. BENN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what was the purpose of the raid on Dublin Mansion House on Thursday last; and whether the persons arrested Will be brought to trial?

Mr. MACPHERSON

It was believed that an illegal meeting was being held. A sale of goods in connection with the Sinn Fein, an illegal association, was found to be in course of preparation, and was prohibited by order of Government. No arrests were made in the Mansion House.
