George Gilmore, a member of the Irish Republican Army, whom Mr. de Valera recently released from Dublin gaol, was shot at Kilrush on Monday in company with J. Ryan, who was also shot. Gilmore and Ryan were to-day arrested in hospital on a charge of conspiracy and murder of the police during Lfihour demonstrations at Kilrueh. Gilmore and Ryan were leaders of a moli which tired on the police, who replied with a volley. As a result Gilmoro and Ryan were shot in the legs. The rest of the crowd ran away leaving the leaders to be arrested.

Motor traders' throughout the Free State met in Dublin, and passed a resolution against the duty on ear bodies, declaring that the Government's tariff policy had failed. They added that the Government should be big enough to admit that it had been misled, and remove the tariff before trade was entirely destroyed, with dire results to thousands of employees.
