asked the Minister for Justice if he will state the circumstances which warranted the sending of a police car and Gardaí from Buncrana, County Donegal, to convoy the vehicle delivering English Sunday newspapers in the Inishowen area on 7th June, 1953.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Sunday Newspapers—Police Escort.
An escort was provided on the occasion in question because the Garda had reason to suspect that malicious damage would be done to the vehicle and its contents.
Was that in Coronation week?
Was that in relation to Coronation publications?
I could not say.
