To ask the Minister for Defence whether any enquiry has been made into the complaint of Mrs. Annie Carroll, of 92, Manor St., Dublin, that on the occasion of a search by the Military of her lock-up shop during the early morning of the 29th September, a quantity of jewellery and other articles were stolen, including four watches, a gold pendant, and a pair of field glasses, and if so, what is the result of the enquiry?
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. - MILITARY SEARCH IN DUBLIN.
There is no record of a previous complaint in this matter. The officer in charge of this particular search is positive that the articles were not taken. After knocking at the house and waiting for a considerable time, he got through the window over the front door and opened the door. He placed one soldier at the front door and another at the back door, while he and a sergeant searched the house. When leaving he shut the door behind him.
