Dublin, July 25.
Bombing outrages carried out by Irish Republican Army sympathizers in Great Britain were strongly condemned in the Senate today by Mr. Eamon de Valera, the Prime Minister of Eire.
Mr. de Valera was replying during a debate on a resolution demanding a Government statement "as to the justifiability and expediency of bombing activities in Britain by Irish citizens."
"We know what wrong has been done by the partition of Ireland," Mr. de Valera declared.
"Unfortunately, however, the Government of Eire is not in a position to remove the causes that have led to the unfortunate occurrences in England."
There was no excuse, he declared, for the bombings, and the Government of Eire had no sympathy with them.
The Prime Minister appealed to the people concerned to take into consideration the changed circumstances since the establishment of the Eire Government.
Mr. de Valera caused a sensation in the Senate when he suggested as a remedy for the turmoil which embroiled the two countries that those in the North, numbering 80,000, should be bought out, compensated, and allowed to go elsewhere if they did not desire to come into an united Ireland.—Reuter. moved in the House of Commons today by Mr. Dingle Foot, Opposition Liberal member for Dundee. It was defeated by 212 votes to 123. The amendment sought to provide that no expulsion or prohibition orders could be made except where a judge had reported on the case.
Sir Samuel Hoare. the Home Secretary, said there were a number of suspects in the country who, the Home Office were convinced, were at the centre of the plot to bomb various points in Great Britain, but to whom ordinary legal procedure was not applicable. The use of such procedure, Sir Samuel added, would endanger not only the Government's sources of information but also the lives of people in contact with the Government.—Reuter.
