asked the Minister for Justice whether inquiries have been completed into the holding of a raffle or sweepstake carried out by the North Monaghan Comhairle Ceanntair of Fianna Fáil in the months of September and October, 1935; and, if so, if he will state what has been the result of these inquiries.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Holding of Sweepstake.
I have ascertained that when the Gárda Síochána approached the promoters of the raffle in question the promoters gave an undertaking that no more tickets would be sold. The Gárda are satisfied that the undertaking has been carried out and accordingly no further action is necessary.
Was the raffle actually carried out?
No.
