Vol. 4 No. 6

PUBLIC SAFETY (EMERGENCY POWERS) BILL, 1923. - ATTACK ON CIVIC GUARDS.

Mr. O'HIGGINS

I beg to move to report progress. In doing so I would like to read to the Dáil a message which reached me in the course of the afternoon. The message reads: "Civic Guards on a cycling patrol patrolling between Killanne and Kiltealy, County Wexford, met armed men who called upon them to give up their bicycles. The Guards refused and the armed men fired. The Sergeant is believed to be mortally wounded, and at least one other Guard is wounded."
