SYMPATHY OF EIRE
DUBLIN, April 19
The Premier of: Eire, Mr. de Valera, in a speech at Castle Bar, expressed the fullest sympathy with those who suffered in the recent bombing of Belfast.
"In the past a number of the people in that part of our country perhaps did not see eye to eye with us politically, but they are our own people, and their sorrows in the present instance are our sorrows.
"I want to say what I know my people want me to say. Whatever help they want and whatever help we can give them will be given wholeheartedly, for I believe that if the circumstances were reversed, they would offer their help wholeheartedly."
