Balfour Defends Police Actions Over Mitchellstown Violence
In Parliament Mr Sexton pressed for government justification of the Mitchellstown bloodshed as an attack on citizens exercising public meeting rights. Mr Balfour countered, detailing police escort, assaults on officers, and a violent, unprovoked response that followed signals to close ranks. Fifty four police were wounded and twenty seriously hurt. The blame lay with Irish political leaders urging unlawful actions rather than constitutional agitation.
