asked the Minister for Justice for a statement of the information in the hands of the Department of Justice in the case of Laurence Griffin, the late postman at Stradbally, County Waterford, who disappeared on the 25th December, 1929.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Case of Stradbally Postman.
I have no information to give on the matter beyond that which has already been made public.
Would the Minister state on what information the two Guards, Delea and Frawley, were called on to resign?
There was a verdict found against them by the Court.
No.
Which Guards are you talking about?
Is not that a separate question?
It arises out of the question of which I have given notice and which I have asked information about.
It is a separate question.
It is part of the question of which I gave notice, and the Minister had ample time to get that information.
These men's names are not mentioned in any question I have here.
The Deputy had better put down another question.
On what information was the statement based here which was supplied by the Department of Justice or the Guards to the representatives of the Press, and which afterwards became the subject matter of a libel suit against the "Waterford News" and the "Cork Examiner?"
That is quite another question. I do not know the document to which the Deputy refers. It did not come through my Department.
Did the Minister make any attempt to supply witnesses or information to the Courts in that libel action?
Surely these are separate questions.
They relate to the information which I have asked for.
What the Deputy is asking for is not in his question on the Paper. I think he ought to put down a separate question. There is no difficulty about that.
I am not satisfied with the Minister's answer, and wish to raise this question on the adjournment.
What question?
