HC Deb 29 June 1920 vol 131 cc274-5W
Sir W. SEAGER

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether since 31st May, 1920, there have been further attacks by Sinn Feiners on the ordinary aids to shipping, such as lighthouses and signal stations on the Irish coast; and what precautions are being taken by the Admiralty to secure navigation of the seas around Ireland, a matter in which not only ourselves but all nations whose vessels use these waters must be concerned?

Mr. LONG

I have been asked to reply to this question. There have been further attacks on signal stations, but not on lighthouses, since the 31st of May. So far as the Admiralty is concerned, warnings have already been issued in Notices to Mariners in regard to this matter, in order to secure navigation of the seas around Ireland.
