There was a long discussion at Dail Eireann on Wednesday on the Government motion authorising the creation of Military Courts, and investing the Army with other powers to deal with the present situation.The motion, on a division, was approved of in principle.
Vigorous speeches were delivered by members of the Ministry. President Cosgrave declared that if murderous attacks took place, those participating in them must learn that they would have to pay the penalty.
Mr Desmond Fitzgerald, Minister for Foreign Affairs, said the reign of law was going to be enforced.
Dealing with a suggestion by Mr Fitzgibbon, K.C., the President said that neither he nor the Minister of Defence would object, in cases where the death penalty was imposed, to having the papers laid on the table of the House, the sentence to take effect within four days unless the Dail passed a resolution disallowing it.
