Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Safety of Civil Population.
The subject of the Deputy's question is at present under consideration. A special branch has been formed to deal with the matter and officers of my Department have attended special courses of instruction in anti-gas measures. They have also been carrying out detailed investigations for a considerable time past with a view to the formulation of a scheme of air raid precautions suitable for this country.
