HC Deb 19 July 1976 vol 915 cc343-4W
Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has protested to the Government of the Irish Republic about the use of their territory by the Provisional IRA for the purpose of attacking a Northern Ireland security patrol on Carlingford Lough which resulted in damage in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Hattersley

No. This is a matter best dealt with by local co-operation between the security forces on both sides of the border.
