Vol. 2 No. 3

CEIST—QUESTION. - TRAIN DERAILED.

To ask the Minister for Defence if he is aware that the engine and eleven wagons of the "Limerick Goods" were derailed midway between Portlaoighise and Portarlington on the night of November 7th as a result of which Fireman William Dwyer was instructed to return to Portlaoighise to report the matter to the Railway and Military Authorities; whether it is a fact that Dwyer was arrested by the latter and is still detained without charge or trial, and, seeing that Dwyer emphatically denies any connection with the irregulars, if he will order his immediate release from prison or state the reasons for his arrest and continued detention.

The matter of the continued detention of Dwyer is under investigation, but enquiries have not yet been completed.
