In Limerick, a group of detectives raided newsagents across the city and seized all copies of “The Irish People” that they could find. When questioned about the reason for the seizure, the detectives claimed they did not know and asserted that the office would compensate for the losses. Despite the seizure, advertisement cards for “The Irish People” can still be seen outside many shops, with an eager demand for any remaining copies.
