Gun-Running?
’PLANE OVER IRISH COAST QUESTION IN THE DAIL (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) Received Juno 9, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, June 9. The appearance of both Free State and British aeroplanes apparently patrolling the southern Irish coast, has revived rumours of extensive gun-run-ning. A Cork correspondent reports unwonted military activity and official reticence. It is recalled that the Minister of Justice was questioned in the Dail last week respecting an incident in West Cork, where 70 men, armed with now rifles and two Lewis guns, allegedly occupied an isolated village during the week-end for the purposes of drilling. The Minister replied that the police were inquiring.
