CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - NEWPORT ASSAULT CASE.
I understand that notice of appeal has been served against the decision of the Circuit Court in these cases and as the matter is therefore still sub judice I do not think that it would be proper for me to make any statement. I may say also that a Sworn Police Inquiry will shortly be held and I shall, of course, await the result of this inquiry, as well as of the appeal, before coming to any decision.
