Vol. 115 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Conscription of Irish Nationals.

asked the Taoiseach if he will state whether our migratory workers who go to Great Britain for a period of six months each year for employment with English and Scottish farmers are now liable to military service on arrival there, and if he will make a statement clarifying the position of Irish citizens generally in Great Britain in relation to compulsory military service there.

Migratory workers going to Great Britain for temporary employment are not liable to compulsory military service.

As regards the second part of the question, I have nothing to add at the moment to the statement which I made in this House in reply to a question on the same subject on the 15th December last.
