HC Deb 11 November 1920 vol 134 cc1377-8W
Mr. SWAN

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether a threat has been posted by armed forces of the Crown in Tralee, County Cork, to carry out reprisals of a nature not yet heard of in Ireland?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

I am informed that no such notices were posted by the forces of the Crown, but that typed notices containing threats of reprisals were posted by some persons unknown, and were removed by the police.

Major HAYWARD

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland for how many days all shops in Tralee have been closed by order of the police; and whether this forcible closing of shops is depriving the inhabitants of the town, without distinction of party, of the necessaries of life?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

I must refer my hon. and gallant Friend to my replies to the hon. Member for Scotland Division, Liverpool (Mr. T. P. O'Connor) on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week concerning Tralee, to which I have nothing to add.

Forward to
