asked the Minister for Justice if he will state on what authority did the Gárda Síochána in Dublin on the eve of the All-Ireland Hurling Final, on 2nd September, 1944, confiscate literature on Partition; if he will state if this action was carried out under his special direction.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Confiscation of Literature.
I propose to reply to Questions Nos. 43 and 44 together.
On the reports before me I am satisfied that the action taken by the police on the occasions mentioned in the Deputy's questions was according to law and in the interest of the public peace.
