I.R.A. P.LOT IN ULSTER
REVEALED BY CAPTURED DOCUMENTS Recd. 11.45 p.m. Belfast, March 12. An I.R.A. plot to secure control of electrical sirens so as to destroy the efficiency of the civil defence system and dislocate important war work was revealed from captured I.R.A. documents by Attorney-General McDermott in the Ulster House of Commons. He added that the documents showed that a picked body of men, armed with hand grenades and machine-guns, were selected for work against police and fire-fighting services during raids. Static water-tanks and electrical supply systems would be destroyed, but it was suggested that the gas supply should be untouched so as not to cause undue hardship to the civil population.
