HEATED DEBATE IN DAIL
DEATH OF HUNGER-STRIKER DUBLIN, May 30. After a heated debate in the Bail, a motion for an inquiry into the prison treatment of Sean McCaughey, who died as the result of hunger-striking, was defeated by 66 votes to 14. The Minister of Justice (Mr Gerald Boland) siaid: “If the gang of which McCaughey was a member had its way, Eire would have been involved in war. The present campaign was aimed at getting: dangerous men from gaol. I am not going to say we have this conspiracy beaten, but while this Government is in power the I.R.A. is not going to get away with it.” The De Valera Government paid the price in the past for leniency to the I.R.A. and now had to be firm.
