Dublin, Jan, 5.
'ORE than twenty men were arrested yesterday in County Cork, it is reported here.
The arrests are believed to be part of the general round-up of Republicans now being carried out by the Government.
The Emergency Powers Bill, giving the Government powers to suppress terrorism, passed by the Dail yesterday, was signed today by Dr. Hyde, the President of Eire.
It is expected that there will be an immediate widespread search for leaders of illegal organizations causing trouble in Eire and elsewhere.
Outspoken criticisms of the army in Eire were made during the debate in the Dail yesterday when final stages of the emergency bill giving the Government powers to suppress terrorism were passed by 62 votes to seven, the Opposition supporting the Government.
Professor Michael Tierney said he was not surprised at the raid on the magazine at Phoenix Park.
It was patent to anyone familiar with what was going on in the army that things were bad. Discipline was undermined and there were irregularities which would never be permitted in any ordinary army.
