Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Political Posters.
The Garda Síochána have not instructions to tear down posters or literature posted up by any political organisation or individual, but they were instructed recently to remove a poster which read “Arm ...
Yes, that is so.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Taxi Licences.
I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to deal with Questions Nos. 6 and 7 together. Under the Road Traffic Act, 1933, licences for public service vehicles are issued by the Commission...
I do not think any such thing is implied in my reply. There is no condition at the moment under which the Commissioner can refuse any person who fulfils these statutory qualifications. I do not thin...
No.
Committee on Finance. - Vote 32—Office of the Minister for Justice.
I move:— That a sum not exceeding £46,320 be granted to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending the 31st day of March, 1950, for the...
I agree.
There were some.
That they had a what?
The Minister was not responsible for that.
And opposed by Fianna Fáil.
No.
You are wrong.
I did not say any such thing. I could not let them out myself.
Who said this— the Irish Press?
Yes.
You are travelling a very dangerous line now, just as dangerous as the poster that was torn down. You should have some sense of responsibility at your time of life.
I am not sliding.
For the benefit of the Deputy, might I say that in 1939 the total number of Guards was 7,109, and in 1949, 7,292, 200 more than in 1939 and we had enough at that time.
There are the figures: 7,109 officers, N.C.O.s and men in 1939, and to-day 7,292 officers, N.C.O.s and men.
No; we should have less since the end of the emergency powers regulations. They must have had a tough time of it, you know.
There would have to be legislation.
Young fellows or old fellows?
It falls on the county councils.
That is right.
On that point I should like to remind the Deputy that that ex-Minister, speaking here, said he wanted all that removed from him. He said that when he was speaking here a short time ago.
Or tell him how to do it.
Voluntary service.
I am grateful for the manner in which this Vote has been taken. The debate travelled over a fairly wide field. Most of it was directed to matters of detail rather than to any fundamental criticism o...
I suppose a dictaphone could be used, but suppose anything happened to the dictaphone! I will have the matter examined but I will not undertake to use a dictaphone or anything else until I have a comp...
Yes, but not quite as much as I would like. I find, however, that housing is not the biggest difficulty. The greatest difficulty arising from the transfer of Guards is schools for the children, and ...

I move:— That a sum not exceeding £1,879,520 be granted to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending the 31st day of March, 1950, for ...
