asked the Minister for Justice whether the house of Mr. Patrick Leonard, 10 Eyre Street, Galway, was raided by a party of Gárda Síochána on 5th November, 1928, and, if so, what was the object of the raid.

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The object of the search was to locate and seize hidden arms and ammunition.

May I ask the Minister if any arms were discovered?

No, sir.
