asked the Minister for Justice if he will state whether he has received a report that Cornofean Hall, near Arva, County Cavan, was maliciously burned by armed men, and if he will state whether the persons who committed this outrage have been identified and charged.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Arva Hall Burned.
I have received a report that the hall referred to was burned on the night of the 3rd May. No persons have been charged in connection with the affair.
Is the Minister aware that this was a hall described as a centre of Gaelic culture controlled by a parochial committee locally and the heads of the Gaelic Athletic Association in the area and will the Minister say what steps have been taken to follow up the people connected with this occurrence and see who is responsible for it?
Inquiries are proceeding.
