To ask the Minister for Defence whether he is aware that on Monday, 9th October, 1922, a party of National troops, returning from Green Hall, to Kanturk, fired at the house of Mrs. Fitzgerald, broke her windows, and smashed her furniture, and what is the reason for such action on the part of the troops?
[WRITTEN REPLIES.] - SEQUEL TO CORK AMBUSH.
On the 9th October a party of National troops who were sent to repair the road between Kanturk and Green Hall were ambushed near Fitzgerald's house by a party of Irregulars, who included Dan Fitzgerald, a son of Mrs. Fitzgerald. In their consequent excitement some of the troops fired through the window of Fitzgerald's house, causing some damage.
