Mr. LUNN

asked the Chief Secretary whether the shop of Mr. E. P. Foley, a Sinn Fein member of Wexford County Council, was destroyed on 20th May; whether this was an official reprisal; by whom ordered; and for what reason?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

I am informed by the Commander-in-Chief that the origin of this fire is unknown and that the Crown forces were not responsible either as an official reprisal or otherwise. They rendered assistance in fighting the fire.
