Vol. 95 No. 11

Ceisteanna.—Questions. Oral Answers. - Execution of Death Sentences.

asked the Minister for Justice if he will state who is the official executioner for carrying out death sentences in Éire, and the salary and expenses paid to such officer on his visits to this country in the discharge of his duties.

It is not in the public interest to give all the details asked for by the Deputy.

I would, however, refer him to Section 53 of the Court Officers Act, 1926, which makes provision for the carrying into effect of sentences of death imposed by the courts.
