A statement has been made to me which I accept with reserve, but which, nevertheless, has been made by a responsible person. Accordingly I wish to ask the Minister for Justice this question: If he will ascertain whether there is any foundation for the statement that while Mrs. Despard was being removed to hospital from her residence, Roebuck House, Dundrum, a party of men from the Criminal Investigation Department were carrying out a raid on the premises? I do not think it is necessary to say any more.
PRIVATE BUSINESS. - QUESTION TO MINISTER FOR JUSTICE.
The Deputy has asked me to ascertain whether a certain statement is true or not. I will ascertain.
The Dáil adjourned at 2 p.m. till Wednesday, October 31st, at 3 p.m.
