cation) was spaaing, Mr Lynch (a Labourite) interjected with the accusation that the Government had murdered men. I life obviotis reference was to Rory O’Connor s execution. which aroused a frenzied argil meat. The Speaker appealed tor order and Mr O'Sullivan went on to Say that it was talk of that sort that had led to Mr O’Higgins’ murder., Thereupon the wnoi’e Labour Party sprang to their feet, ami angrily demanded a withdrawal. The Speaker pointed out that a Labourite had accused the Government of murder. If one side used extreme language, the other would also take this extreme course.
